[Euro] HID Light Problem

[jamchen]

Sorry for hijacking this thread. I own a standard Euro and I need to change the light buld on the right side(driver side) every few months. It has just blown again and I have to change it tonight. Do any of you out there have a similar problem on the STD Model?

r u using the supposed-white cheap headlights off ebay or something?
firstly try to get some decent light bulbs and navia artatic, or philips crystal vision, they cst more but i can assure u for better bulb life

but man, condensation in the headlight assembly? if more victims appear then we all euro drivers should request for a recall..

wait the water in headlights were fixed like last year or something Boost,
they replaced it, but wouldnt allow to keep the old headlights, lol I dont know y?

they probably say they need to send it to Honda Australia for possible testings :P
it happened to me last time when the MDX's rotors were changed due to some cracks..

yes and possibly chuck it on a 06 model after they fix it, 06 LUx model with sat nav maybe =)

oh.. it sounds like honda needs to recheck their designs... especially if alot of people are having the same problem. If water / condensation gets into the headlights this will affect the performance of the bulbs for sure. If you have replaced both bulbs and then you find out that one is dimmer than the other. Its not an electrical problem. Its definately has something to do with the water seeping in. Like you wouldnt think touching the glass of the bulb and getting oil and finger prints on it would greatly reduce the life of the bulb but it does no matter whether its the normal halo. or hid bulbs. Water getting in will do heaps more damage, quite obvious really.

well, abt 2-3 yrs ago, there was a recall on the euro in some overseas markets.
water leaking into the headlight assembly, and in some cases, causes short circuit and fire. yes, there was a case of a burnt 4 mth old euro in singapore.
