Has anyone had a Honda dealership replace their headlights due to condensation problems? My car is still under warranty and there is a slight build up of condensation in my driver's side headlight. Will Honda honor this repair under warranty or will I have pay for the repairs myself? Thanks for the help guys.

 

i think some people have had this same case, if you didnt take the lights apart, to clear them, then you should be fine, esecially since you have warrenty,
good luck

 

some have.

 

i find it hard to believe that they could deny warranty coverage provided two things: ONE the housing hasn't been opened up and TWO there isn't any sign of damage ie. impacts or cracks in the housings.

condensation can't be classified as a "cosmetic" issue.

 

My driver's side assembly was replaced under warranty due to condensation. It shows no signs of cracks and had never been opened to clear it.

 

While under warrantee I had my front right head light replaced and rear left tail light replaced due to moisture.

 

Hey, thanks a lot guys for all the replies. I will be taking my car in to the dealership this weekend. Hopefully they will cover the repairs under warranty. I will try to get both replaced because the driver's side has condensation and both sides have bubbles in the paint. So how do I actually go about doing this? Do I just take it to the service manager and tell him what I want done? Who am I supposed to talk to to get this done? Sorry for the silly sounding question but I'm a total newbie towards warranty work. Ohh... one more thing. What do you guys think my chances are of getting the dealership to replace the headlights with '04 units? Thanks again.

 

If Honda dealership wouldn't repair the lights, did you call Honda corporate? How can they justify denying your claim when they have fixed others?

Even if the moisture in the lights doesn't cause them to malfunction, it might make it hard to sell your car. I bet that same dealership would cite the condensation as an excuse to pay you less than they should on trade in.
