Default HELP...dimming headlights!!!

I've read similiar posts but I'm not sure if the problem I have is the same. I have a 2004 Accord EX (V6) and my headlights dim with no distinct reason. I notice that they won't dim if I'm driving on the expressway and going faster than 60 mph. It happens frequently and again doesn't seem to happen at any particular time (AC on, radio, defrost, etc.).

Suggestions are VERY welcomed! Thanks.

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks for the advice. Also, my radio lights went out last week (along with climate control) but everything still works. I read that it sounds like it's a common problem and that it needs a new circuit board. Any advice on where I can get a new board? My car has 108,000 miles so the warranty is expired.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!!

your other problem is a known issue and once you get your electrical problem figured out, Honda dealer should replace radio / cliamate control unit free of charge
