Description of the problem	For the first time since purchasing the vehicle in february 2012, i was driving in dark and rainy conditions this morning, taking our son to school. I had both the headlights and fog lights on, and i was amazed that the lights hardly lit up the road in front of me at all. The car was clean and the light lenses were not dirty at all. I couldn't believe how poor the car's front lighting was in these conditions. Normally, when it wasn't raining, i thought the car's lights were sufficient. Not great, but sufficient. Since honda does not offer any higher intensity head light bulbs, i will check with aftermarket suppliers. Honda is known as a very safety conscious car company. Having headlights that perform so poorly in the rain seems like a safety related defect to me. Many vehicles on the road today have much better and brighter headlights. Considering the price of the 2012 honda cr-v ex-l, it seems like honda should have installed higher intensity or even xenon headlights.
