ive booked my euro in for a service next week while im in perth at the same honda specialist it was last serviced at by the first owner (9000ks ago) and i mentioned the moisture issue to the mechanic... he said he wasnt aware of any issue but he would speak to the dealer.
what kind of honda specialist hasnt heard of this moisture in euro headlight issue?
wondering if i should ring honda australia and ask them if they will cover it.
a honda specialist is just that, a company who specializes in honda. they do not have actual support from honda australia unlike honda dealers.
if im not wrong, you deal with auto extra in geraldton??
water entry into the headlight is a honda warranty campaign. 5hl is honda's code only.
there's a part number to it, just cant remember of the top of my head. you cant buy this part, simply cause its a warranty issue. dont quote me on it, but im pretty sure u can take it into a honda dealer to get it rectified. even if ur car is out of warranty, the part is only wat, $10 or something. dirt cheap. nice easy simple fix.
hope that helps.
The part number is 06336 SEA 305.
The problem you'll find is, the part isnt easily ordered, you have to submit a VIN number, and the corresponding campaign number (5HL) into Hondanet, and then they issue the dealer with the parts, but only if the VIN is applicable to that campaign.
It is not a part that can be ordered by itself through normal ordering channels or methods.
And we've seen plenty of euro headlights with the campaign done that still have moisture in the headlight.
The part is just a metal crimp clip that you can buy from an auto parts store........... Honda does not make the clips, they buy it from a supplier. So you can source it from places other than the dealer.
yeh get it fix,
damn had my euro for 5years and havent had the moisture problem in the headlights.
sounds like it was a common problem with the newer models.

there is a honda dealer in geraldton, they are also the ford, nissan and hyundai dealer, but i wouldnt trust my car there..
just wondering, I'd like to change my stock light-bulb with Crystal vision, will this condensation issue appear because of that?
It will appear if you change it on a cold night when it is raining and you are outdoors. LOL. Been there, done that. So wait for a warm dry day before you change bulbs.Quote:
