My 2015 Acura RDX headlights are so dim it is dangerous to drive at night…especially with rain on the road. I tried getting the brightest bulbs possible, but it doesn’t help. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

[image] bing: Inflation sucks. I agree, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these headlamps cost that much last year.

Thanks for all of your help. I checked the plastic and it is clear…no haze/cloudy appearance. Shadowfax, I see what you are saying about complaints on the internet. So if I were to replace the headlight housing, would the Rockauto be good? Would I order and then bring them to a shop to install o…

If the lens is clear with absolutely no haze (edit - and clean shiny reflectors) I don’t see what replacing the housing will accomplish. How long have you owned it? Has it always been like this?

Could be, but the RDX is a very different vehicle

Yes, Halogen bulbs. Bought it used a few years ago. The low beams were never bright but have gotten considerably worse…and changing the bulb doesn’t help. The outer lens is clear but actually, the inner lens does look cloudy…like in that picture. How do I fix that?

[image] lt_178124: How do I fix that? New housing. You can’t (maybe someone could) take them apart. A body shop is more versed in replacing body parts but discuss with them first and they may cut you a deal on the housings. Rockauto is generally for people that do it themselves.

this is for the RLX but probably the same problem.
