Recently reported EXTERIOR LIGHTING problems on 2002 Acura TL

My headlight keeps blowing out , at 100.00 dollars everytime i replace the light it last about 3 wks and then blows out again , the other headlight flickers off and on, this is ridiculous . this is a severe safety concern because you never know when its going to go out. *tr

My acura tl's lights work and then don't work all of a sudden. the right head light will go out, and then when i try to turn off the lights and turn them back on the left light will go out and the right will come back on, and back and forth until they both go out and won't come back on until i leave the lights off for about 15 to 20 minutes. another thing i'm concerned about is my horn, it works at certain angles but doesn't work most of the time and when it is aligned straight. i was on ih-35 and an 18 wheeler was changing into my lane and when i tried to honk my horn to let him know i was right next to him it wouldn't work. if it wasn't for no cars being next to me i would have crashed to the cars next to me or the 18 wheeler would have crushed my car with my self and my kids in it. another thing is that the horn is also a problem to a 2001 acura tl my friend had and i have asked other people that i have seen that have the same generation as my acura tl that if there horn works and they have had the same problem. i really think that it is a safety concern simply because if someone would be in the same situation as i was it could easily be an accident. if it isn't a safety concern then what would be the reason for the inspection not to pass if they don't work... *tr

The headlights are so bright that they blind other drivers when on the road and come over a hill. this is increasing the owner's chance of an accident because the other drivers are not able to view the road, and could cause a head on collision between two vehicles. manufacturer has been informed by the consumer.*ak

Cracked driver's side fog lense on 2002 tl (light still works). dealer will only replace entire unit instead of lense at a cost of over $220 - ridiculous! other problems that have been fixed under warranty - cup holder lid would not operate correctly, bad shudder when applying brakes, loose sunroof. *la

Those new "blue" headlamps are blinding at night. they seem dangerous.

The headlights were too bright, the dealer adjusted them on two occasions.*jb
