there is a recall on the headlite switch on those models---i worke at Honda for 15 years--call the dealer--will fix at no charge
The headlights on a 1998 Honda Civic use adjustment screws which are located on the side of each headlight in the engine bay. Tightening it will raise the light and loosening it will lower it.
According to Honda's factory service manual, and several reputable trade repair guides, there is no adjustment to the height or direction of the headlight beam on a 2001 Civic. In theory, however, it may be possible to adjust it slightly by using shims (washers) between the frame and mounting tabs to get slight adjustment.
check the fuses. Some Hondas use a separate fuse for each bulb.
on my 93 civic, there are 5 separate fuses for headlights. left low beam, right low beam, left high beam, right high beam, and daytime runner
A reset button for headlights?
Yes. There are fuses for Low beam Left, Low beam Right, High beam Left, High Beam Right. Located in the Under hood Fuse Box.
My 2001 Honda Civic LX low beams went out and only the high beams worked. I checked with my local Honda Dealer and there is a recall on certain vin numbers. Mine was on the recall list. The dealer repair it at no charge to me.
High beam headlights reveal objects at a distance of at least 450 feet away. High beam headlights allow the driver to view obstacles in the road much sooner than low beam headlights.
Use your high-beam headlights at night whenever it is legal and safe.
You use low beam headlights when you're in a town or city in any location.
On most vehicles, the low beam headlights are the outside pair of lights. This is true when the headlights are side by side. When the two sets of lights are stacked, the low beam headlights are usually on the bottom.
Car headlights have to be able to "dip" so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic, they therefore can switch between a "high" beam and a "dipped" beam and thus have a dual beam.
