I turned off the button that heats the wing mirrors then my main beams came on. I used the stalk to turn light off and on again, then they wouldn't come on. Any ideas?

booked it in with Honda today for late next week. one of them was asking me what holder it had in because apparently some of those have caused the issue and might need another OEM replacement holder. I told him I don;t have a clue whats in there anyway lulz but they will check it out on the day. So I just hope my one remaining headlight doesnt blow before the 16th or it's going be difficult to see

both of my headlights are now gone lol. car is booked in at Honda on thursday and thats the earliest they could do so until then i'm only able to drive between sunrise and sunset when it's bright enough :/

Have you swapped out the holders?

Seems daft to pay honda to do this

They are going do it. I don't know how to do it lulz

seriously - it is the same as a bulb swap, if you can do this then you are golden - 5 minutes each side..... very simple to do it is just the part that the H1 bulb pushed into

I cleaned mine out and the lights seem to be ok for now. I just mess with the stalk on the steering wheel, flip between dim, main beams and full beams then they seem to work. Any idea what might be causing that? They both go out or they both turn on. The left side light was perfect, no dirt or nothing.

to me that sounds like a bad contact in the switchgear or a faulty relay - could also be a corroded earth but the first two are where I would start

Did you get this fixed dude? What was the reason? Price?

Yes it was done on January the 14th I think? It cost a total of £61 or so at local Honda. This included 2 bulb holders and whatever labour they did. I did ask them to check for any electrical faults that potentially might be causing the issue so that may have bumped the labour up a bit I don't know, holders were £11 I think, dunno if that was each. I could find out exact details if anyone wants. probably expensive but I don't care. Both my bulbs are still working and they are the bulbs sold on the forum, not Honda bulbs.

Ahhh ok cool. I was fine but the other day I went to flash a driver to say thanks and my main beams went off haha
