Sorry I am not sure what the VIN range is. But when you go to the dealer, they put ur VIN into their computer program thingy from Honda and if it doesn't say recall. Then there's no Recall. My car is May 06 and I think any car after that is not under the recall. Not sure how much before my car though.
That's alright
I'm pretty sure I'm covered but I still need to get spare plastic covers for the inside. $25 each from the dealership is a bit rich, and there arn't too many Euros at the wreckers, so can anybody confirm if they are a shared honda part? (Sorry for repeating myself, just eager to find out! )

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.
Guys, i wake up this morning. After a downpoar in rain in Sydney.
My poor Euro, has the entire left light full of condensation. Now the headlight HID doesnt even turn on. I havnt touched the light whatsoever and now the bloody thing is F&*ked! lol Before i take it to the dealership, My car is an OCT 03 Euro Luxury. That would still be covered under warranty yeh???

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.
I have emailed the head office. I am taking the car in on Monday. Apparently they are booked out untill then which i think is another wod of crap! lol considering that by that time, the condensation would have deminished by then.
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
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 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.
Just finished reading through this thread and it appears Honda Australia hasn't provided you with a warranty extension or recall classification for the moisture in the headlights issue?
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.
Granted it was about 2pm on the friday but, im not exactly to thrilled with there service. Mind you, everytime i call them, its like all they wanna do is get off the phone.
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
