Headlights Hella or OEM Honda

i have the hellas; im extremely satisfied with their quality and output

I've not noticed anything wrong with the headlights. My previous car was a 2021 Audi q5, and I thought those headlights were great (projector), so I was a little worried going to reflector housings. But I have no complaints with these.

I think they’re amazing. Saying they’re “dim” is ridiculous.

coming from a 2013 that did not have LED headlights, the 2026 headlights are amazing. I can drive without my brights on and still see well at nighttime. I also have vision issues driving at night and have not had issues with my passport.

My 21 with the multi beam LED headlight is super bright.

They’re excellent headlights. I’ve driven my ‘26 numerous times at night and the visibility is great.

I bought the hella retrobrights in classic white. I don't like the modern look of these.

Overall I like the new Prelude design, but the front IMO is the weakest element as this post highlights. Just not as clean as I think they could have done.

Im flabbergasted looking through the comments at how many people have to be convinced that the headlights are extremely poor rather than discussing how to improve your lighting. I agree this 2025 crv has the most terrible lights I've ever had in my life. Its more terrible in the rain or snow at night.

Headlights are garbage… they use reflectors rather than projectors and so even though the led is bright, it is extremely diffuse. The diffuse pattern is particularly useless in heavy precipitation.
