If you have a friend with an Euro, just tape your plastic cover up, swap it with him for the day when you are getting the headlights fixed.Quote:

Thanks for your help guys..
03 means you are out of warranty. But ask anyway. If you haven't gotten the clips installed, then you might be able to argue that if they followed Honda's instructions to put the clips on at your last service, this problem wouldn't happen. It might be enough leverage to get them to replace your headlight and HID.Quote:

Oh well, way ahead of them, the complaint i made to Honda Head Office has the pictures of the condensation and that Id be taking matters to Consumer Affairs if not fixed! haha lol its good working in Customer Service. You kno how to get things done when you need to :D
I spoke today with Collins Honda in Rockdale. They said it wasnt a recall but a possible known issue. They said they are too busy to see the car till Monday which by then, the condensation will evaporate.
Clearly im not an idiot so i took photos demonstrating the condensation. I shall await there inspection. Hope all goes well lol Id say they are gunna decline it for repair so guys, make sure you take photos of it so that when you take it in, they dont stuff ya around...
if its not covered, im going to Consumer Affairs.. BTW anybody know the price on a HID bulb?? Im guessing 200 to 300 yeh? lol bloody technology :D haha
I get my Euro serviced there(Collins Honda)they're good guys,be nice to them and they'll look after you.good luck.Quote:

Since my TSX warranty is due to expire on the 17th of this month I decided to check with Acura Client Services to see how long the headlamp replacement "product update" would be in effect for.
Glad I called because according to Acura they told me this was not a "product update" but rather an official "recall." And they wonder why ppl get confused?
The good news is, as a recall there is no expiration date. Since I don't have the problem at the moment I told her I would probably wait until there was. She said, "you should schedule to have them replaced right away even though you are not experiencing any issues right now."
Naturally, I asked if I bring my car in and request the dealer to replace them I won't be told no because the lights are not defective... right?
She said absolutely not, dealers are required to replace these as soon as you schedule an appointment.
Anyway, hope this helps with your Euros?
Everytime i go there, I asked the spare parts dude a question, its like he hates his life and always has the most shortest and plain answers.Quote:

Ill give them the benefit of the doubt though. If you say they look after you, ill be nice.. :) just have to wait till i get some kind of answer from them i guess. I called them again today, he mentioned that they are recalling them..
might have been me hoping he would say it haha :) see how Monday goes :)
Guys, its gotten worse now.. lol heres a pic of it this morning.. man it looks like sh*t
