Also, you'll need to seal them again and that is the pain.

If the sealing process is the same as previous Honda/Acura headlight assemblies, I do believe people bake the assembly in the oven, at 350F for about 5-7 minutes and pry the housing open.

Especially since i bet the headlight assemblies aren't cheap either. So be careful.

You should have them replace the leaky ones then tell them you want to keep the old ones. I'm pretty sure they'd give them to you. THen you can do the work on those and have a back up set.

tony's right ... you should find out if they would be actually replacing the headlights with new ones and if so you can DEFINITELY get your old pair back no problem

Forgot about this.
I'm getting my drivers side light replaced Saturday because of fog. Glad this thread came up I've gotta ask more mine back.
I damn near forgot.

Strange it's under warranty here.
btw found out today they can't give you the parts when the work is done under warranty. They have to send the unit back otherwise they don't get covered for the money.
