Reddish headlight glow

Hi all,

I am having a problem with my left front headlight on my 04 TSX. It all of sudden changed to a faint reddish color while the right headlight remains perfectly normal. I am not sure if this could be related to the letter Acura sent to owners regarding headlight condensation. It appears so because this is basically a failure of the headlight and I haven't yet taken it to the dealer to have it repaired. I have tried a thorough search and was not able to find anyone with a similar problem. I would appreciate any insight or advice on the problem, I may just end up taking it to the dealer to have them look at it but I'd like to have some knowledge before I walk in there. I will attempt to post some pictures of the problem, but I have had trouble doing this in the past so I don't think it will work. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks. Bryan.

I took some great pictures of the problem but I can't seem to post them. Under my posting rules it says "I may not add attachments" for some reason and I don't know what to do when it says "enter the text to be formatted" when posting. Any suggestions and I'll get the pictures up. Sorry I'm usually not this technically illiterate, thanks again.
