as published in the web some hondas have possible wiring fault. where the terminal wire joint corrodes over time and moves causing increase in contact resistance thereby generating heat leading to melting of wire connecting coupler, which eventually leads to headlight switch malfunction causing the low beam to become non-operational, high beam and other signal lights are not affected because they are not used as often and as long as the low beam lights (moreso if driving hours are spent more at night) aside from having a different connection inside the switch.

Recall: 820 000 more Hondas for faulty headlamp wiring - MSN Autos

after being fixed, its recommended to upgrade with heavy duty headlight wiring harness with relays to share the heat and the load. mine had no issues since.

Sir ganito po issue nung jazz ko.. anu po naging solution? palit switch or wire coupling?

Yung sa akin nagkaproblema naman yung high beam. May ginawa yung electrician dun sa steering column and ang resulta, pag nag high beam ako, sumasabay pa din yung low beam kaya pag nakipagsilawan yung mga kasalubong ko, sila na din yung unang nagtatanggal ng high beam nila. He,he.

It might be the switch at the steering lever.

had this same problem with my city, suggest to open the cover in front of the steering wheel tapos parang may wiring dyan, kailangan mo lang kalugin or tighten.. you can also remove it and then clean it, kasi the wiring might be dirty or might have short circuited... i think i took a picture of this... will just look for it..

just to update the thread on what happened to my low beam lights. kinalas ko siya at nilinis. removed the carbon and burned plastic tapos exposed the wire to be directly connected to the switch. so far so good naman. wala na burning smell and i already have a steady low beam everytime. but i have to start saving to replace it for the long term.
