BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHT UNITS HAD THE LED STRIP AT THE BOTTOM AND CONTINUING UP THE SIDE GO OUT. AS THE HEADLIGHT IS ONE COMPLETE UNIT THE LED PORTION CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT A COMPLETE CHANGE OUT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (LED STRIP) ARE BURNED-OUT IN SEGMENTS. DRL'S ARE LISTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A SAFETY ITEM AND HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE UNLESS VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. TYPICAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE RUNS FROM $400-$700 PER UNIT AS THEY ARE INCORPORATED IN EACH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. COST IS UNREALISTIC FOR LIGHTING.

I HAVE A TOURING TRIM OF THE HONDA ACCORD 2016, MEANING IT HAS A V6 ENGINE. AT AROUND 38,000 MILES, THE STARTER STARTED ACTING UP. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND WON'T START. I LIVED WITH IT FOR A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I'M USUALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO START AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW STARTER FROM HONDA, INSTALLED IT, AND THE CAR WORKED PERFECTLY AGAIN. IT STARTED EVERY TIME. 1 WEEK LATER AND THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. IT'S A BRAND NEW STARTER AND I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS BEFORE. IT HAPPENS LIKE ONCE A DAY NOW. THE OLD STARTER WAS GIVING ME ISSUES EVERY OTHER TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR. WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THIS BRAND NEW ONE.
