The headlight switch on your vehicle is a small part that controls your headlights. It's connected to the wiring harness by a terminal that can wear down over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If this terminal wears down, it could melt and cause your low beam headlights to stop working. This would reduce your visibility while driving at night and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will repair or replace the low beam terminal harness or the lighting switch, depending on what's needed, at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should contact the dealer to schedule it.

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2004 CR-V; MODEL YEAR 2003 THROUGH 2005 PILOT; AND MODEL YEAR 2002 AND 2003 CIVIC VEHICLES. IN MARCH 2012, HONDA FILED A DEFECT REPORT TO RECALL CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2004 CR-V AND CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2003 PILOT VEHICLES. IN AUGUST 2012, HONDA INFORMED THE AGENCY THAT IT WAS INCLUDING AN ADDITIONAL 820,789 VEHICLES INCLUDING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004 AND 2005 PILOTS AND MODEL YEAR 2002 AND 2003 CIVICS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED IS NOW 1,375,217. DUE TO TENSION FROM THE COMBINATION SWITCH WIRING HARNESS, WEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CAN OCCUR, YIELDING COPPER OXIDE, WHICH INCREASES ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MAY CAUSE THE TERMINAL ENDS TO MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR.

The combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are aftermarket parts that attach to the front and rear of your car, providing additional lighting. In certain models, these lamps lack a crucial safety feature — an amber side reflector that helps other drivers see your vehicle from the side.

Without this reflector, it can be harder for other drivers to see you, especially in low-light conditions. This could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
