Headlight issues in the 2015 Acura RDX range from premature burn out and faulty wiring to dimness problems due to a defective aluminum film on the inner reflector. Acura has recalled models from 2014 and 2015, as the dimness can impact the headlamp's brightness, especially in dark conditions. The recall affects 2015 RDX vehicles manufactured between June 4, 2014, and November 18, 2014.

    I own a 2015 Acura RDX, and my headlights are not very bright. Acura headquarters in California says there are no recalls or official actions for the headlights, and I can't find any related information online. Can you assist with this issue?

  • ELLA Monserrat

    I own a 2015 RDX that has dim low beam headlights as well. My recommendation is to make a report to the NHTSA through their problem reporting page (the more reports, the better) and also consider reaching out to Chimicles, a law firm currently investigating a potential class action lawsuit against Acura for this specific problem. Look up "Acura" on their website to locate the form you need to fill out.

    My headlights are extremely faint and could lead to a serious accident if not addressed promptly. My vehicle is a 2015 Acura RDX that requires immediate maintenance.

  • Ashley L

    My light bulbs are really dim. I'm not sure what to do. Is there a recall for them? They definitely need to be changed.

  • Stanton S

    For the past couple of years, I've been facing an issue with the low beam headlights on my 2015 Acura RDX, which has been progressively worsening. Driving at night has become challenging, forcing me to rely on high beams. Today, I spent $80 to have the bulbs replaced, hoping to avoid the dealership's steep $1,000 per headlight charge. However, despite the replacement, the lights are still dim. After researching online and discovering similar issues with this model, I'm perplexed as to why the manufacturer addressed the problem in the 2014 version but not the 2015. This experience has made me reconsider my loyalty to Acura.

    I own a 2015 RDX, but the headlights are so faint that I have to constantly use the high beams when driving in the dark. This is not ideal because it blinds other drivers, creating a significant safety concern. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to replace the headlight assembly. I have always been loyal to Honda, so when I switched to Acura, I expected an improvement.

  • Soraia M Taha

    Visibility is extremely poor and unsafe when driving at night without using high beams. It feels like I don't have any lights on at all. The issue began after I hit a deer on October 28, 2023, resulting in significant damage to my vehicle. While my car is in the shop for repairs, I have arranged to replace both headlights with safer ones that provide better visibility at night. Additionally, I had fog lights installed in an attempt to improve visibility, but unfortunately, they did not help. You can contact me at frich.628@gmail.com or on my cell phone at 757-478-2481.

    I'm experiencing issues with my headlights on low beam. Even after replacing the light bulbs twice, the quality of the low beam is still very poor.

  • Blal

    Acura was asking for $2,300 to replace both headlight units because of this problem. Can you believe it? It looks like a hidden defect that they need to own up to and address properly.

  • Barbara Silas

    I also own a 2015 Acura RDX experiencing the same problem. Have there been any updates to address this issue?

  • Mr. Thomas

    My 2015 Acura RDX has headlights that are so dim that it doesn't feel safe to drive at night without using the high beams. Even after replacing the lightbulbs, there was no improvement. This appears to be a significant problem that warrants a recall. I have notified the NHTSA and joined a class action lawsuit regarding this issue.

  • Andray

    The headlights on my 2015 Acura RDX are extremely dim. Even when I switch them to the high beam setting, it doesn't make much of a difference. It's gotten to the point where I avoid driving at night altogether. I've already raised my concerns with the nearby Acura dealership, but they haven't done anything about it. This issue is serious and could potentially lead to accidents if Acura doesn't address it promptly.

    In 2015, the Acura RDX experienced issues with its headlights, including early burnout of lights and a defective wire causing problems.
