The night before Christmas Eve, I was commuting home from the neighboring city, which is about a 25 minute drive home from where I was currently located. It was late in the evening and 2 of my children were in the car with me. I live in a rural area that is extremely dark in most of the areas. As I'm driving along both of my low beams go out without warning. This made for a very dangerous situation. I reacted as quickly as I could to prevent an accident and tried my high beams. Fortunately, they turned on but unfortunately I had to drive the rest of the way home with my high beams on possibly blinding any driver that came in contact with me. Currently the low beams still are not working. I have read forum, after forum, after forum stating how this is a problem from a 2004 to at least a 2010 Odyssey before I discontinued reading any further. I'm not exactly sure what causes but I do know it's not caused by the spark plus, the light bulbs and there is no individual relay for this vehicle low beams independently.
AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND WON'T GO OFF
2006 HONDA ODYSSEY, DASH BOARD IS ILLUMINATED DURING THE DAY, AS EVENING APPROACHES ITS HARD TO TELL YOU NEED TO PUT YOU LIGHTS ON. I OFTEN FIND MYSELF DRIVING INTO THE NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON BECAUSE OF THIS. OTHERS HAVE EXPRESSED SAME CONCERN REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
