so I have an 04 ex cpe and just recently i noticed my left headlight was alot dimmer than the right (and has not always been like that) . i noticed it the other night pulling into a parking spot, so i got outa my car and sure enough the driver side is real dim. almost like a dark orange opposed to the passenger side which is bright as the sun. so i got to work this morning and replaced the bulb with an oem bulb (9006). well that one is the same way so replaced it with another and yet the same thing

now the question i have is has anyone ever had this same problem and what did you do to fix it? is it a grounding issue with the wiring? kinda just wanted to ask around before i start getting myself into an electrical nightmare. if anyone has any input it will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

You still have a warrenty on it? If so take it in to honda...

But if not, ide say check the ground wires make sure you got a good connection. And just out of curriousity you have added fog lights or anything?

No...i have never added anything electrical to the car at all. and right now im at like 37,000 miles lol....right out of warranty. however i do have 100,000 mile extended.

If you have the extended warranty it should cover it...

i had this problem... dont laugh... when i tried to install the LED window sprayer things... one headlight got dimmer, so i took them off and had the dealer fix it for me under warrenty.

I would let the dealer repair the problem. The lamps are supplied power and grounded through the headlight switch. Could be a defective socket or something more complex.

Let us know what they find out.

Cool...thanks for the input. i just wanted to ask around and see if it might just be a quick little fix for a notorious problem before i dropped a $100.00 deductible down on my extended warranty.

oh...and p.s......ive repped my limit today so for all the answers givin dont worry, i got you. and thanks again.

well looks like i finally figured it out and i feel like a dumbass for not checking first lol ......so i got curious and decided to move around a few relays. I switched the right low beam headlamp relay with the left lowbeam headlamp relay and sure enough now the right headlamp was low and the left was fine. i called the local honda dealership and i can get one for like 6 blah blah bucks. anyways....turns out to be a cheap and easy fix. but thanks to all for the replys

Good troubleshooting !

I noticed the #s on most of the relays in the under hood box are the same.(not all)

Thanks for letting us know.
