What is auto high beam problem?
The auto high beam problem light that comes on in the dash of a Honda CR-V means that there is a problem with the high beam detection system. Your high beams will automatically turn on when conditions are clear, and will turn off when it detects that there is another vehicle ahead of You or coming towards You.
Why are the high beams on my car not working?
If the high beams function but don’t seem to light your way, especially if you drive an older vehicle with polycarbonate headlight lenses, your car may be a victim of headlight fogging. This isn’t simply scuffing, but an actual chemical change from polycarbonate’s exposure to solar ultraviolet light and caustic exhaust emissions.
How does a high beam light bulb work?
Get familiar with the fuses and relays that control your headlights. The headlight switch usually doesn’t control the headlight bulbs directly, but through one or more relays. The headlight switch powers a relay, which powers the headlight bulb. This protects the headlight switch from the high current used by the high beam headlights.
How does a high beam flasher work on a car?
NOTE that the high beam flasher function remains, due to a separate green wire from the ignition switch, as a separate circuit. The headlight relay may or may not turn off the headlight, during engine cranking, depending on year, model, & country shipped-to.

Why are the lights on my car not working?
On some vehicles, particularly those with HID headlights or solid-state circuit protection (Zener diodes or high beam circuit breakers) installing the wrong bulb might result in intermittent headlight operation or no high beams at all. The wrong bulb might not ignite at the right voltage or draw too much current for the circuit protection’s design.
Why are my headlights not working at night?
Still, if you drive a lot, especially at night when you must constantly change between high beams and low beams, you might wear out the headlight switch. It doesn’t take long to restore fogged headlights and night visibility.
