S2000 - Headlight misted

[gemini]

Well 10 weeks out of warranty and the headlight unit fails - condensation with no damage!

Honda say they'll pay 20% of a £500 quid bill

I aint happy - these cars are supposed to be indestructable ?

Anyone any advice or similar problems?

[gemini]

There appears to be a few on the S2K forum!

Theres even a recall issue withnew civics for asimilar problem - but still Honda wont shift

I feel a hairdryer moment coming on

Thanks for the info re other Hondas

Ive now managed (scuffed hands and sores) to get the bulb out - allow nature's sun to do its job and re seal the light.

No more condensation I hope!

Jeez - its back!

Two cut hands and time, and still it fogs!

Honda refuse to replace it even though, with a bit of web digging, Ive found that Accords and Civics do the same so therefore must be a design fault!
