Water inside euro headlight

[E-Gene]

Well, similarly to all our Euros here, my 07 Ltd Ed has got that problem in the passenger light as well. Unfortunately I too have got my dust covers drilled and HIDs installed. Tomorrow I'll try the silica sachel solution which I believe a lot of dealers use, and see how we go. If not, it looks like I'll have to do the "return to stock" method.

Hmm, Seem to be getting water in my headlight now... 06 euro... I got drilled dust covers as well, will removing the headlight and sealing up the holes air-tight fix the issue? As in, will the evaporation be effective enough to remove all the water in the headlight after i've sealed it?

Anyone with other solutions for stopping the water with headlights with drilled dustcaps that were effective? Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to dig up this thread but I was wondering if I could get some thoughts from people who have experience with this problem.

I bought my 06 Euro sport from New world honda 3 weeks ago and within a day the drivers side headlamp had gathered moisture....

Contacted the dealer and they had a look at it before telling me that, and I quote, 'we talked to our roadworthy guy and he said that moisture in the headlamp is permissible as long as there isn't water pooling at the bottom, its common with the euros'

I agreed to a 1 year statutory warranty with these guys and am pretty set on having this fixed by them, any thoughts on how to go about it? Because currently, they are not at all keen to do anything about it.

Water leaking into the headlights is not acceptable. It could cause corrosion or premature failure of bulbs. You should not take no for an answer, they should fix that under warranty.

If they continue to give you grief, you could try taking it to Honda and seeing if they will fix it for free for you before you take the unscrupulous dealer to fair trading. But they will probably just throw a bag of desiccant in there to absorb the moisture, which is a temporary fix at best...
