I was washing my car the other day and noticed when i sprayed my headlights, they would fog up for a few seconds and then the fog would disappear. Is this something I should be worried about (ie. take to the dealership for)? I don't want to run into problems when my warranty runs out . thx.

 

bump...anyone know?

 

It's fairly common. Unfortunately the dealership isn't going to do anything about it unless they are fogged up when you bring it in. If they stay fogged take it to the dealership and they will replace the headlamp housing.

If this ever happens when you are beyond the warranty try removing the bulb from the housing to allow the moisture to escape. This worked for me.

 

thx.

 

Different but the same...

...my headlights seem okay but they are totally toasted by road pebbles...and look foggy. I have seen some cars whose lights are really bad but mine are pretty hazy now that I have ~48k on the car. Is there anything to help this issue? I saw a post a while back that said that there wasn't anything except plastic polish but perhaps there are other secrets out there?

 

Wet sanding is about the only thing I can think of

 

thank god if this ever happens to me, i will just run my car through acuras carwash for evidence to the technicians on the scene.

is this common on all 2nd Gen CL's or just 01-02's?

 

rockblocker tint film - protects from pebbles and stuff...like the clear bra.

 

^headlight film comes in clear...plus some other colors...

 

Plastic polish does not work for the haze, I bought it and tried, my headlight haze was caused by many deep little ticks and things,

and the protector will only protect from now on, not do anything about the nicks that are there now, but good idea for a new car with the new clear plastic and HIDs

 

many have said that plastic polish works - i have not used it.

my friend removed some haze with compound. right after you remove the haze would be a good time to put the film on. anyone done this???

 

had the same shit, replaced that crap under warranty

 

beautiful.....now both my headlights are starting to fog....

 

they sure do - Clear, yellow, smoked or blue

 

I Just Washed The Car Last Night And Guess What...... This Morning My Right Headlight Is Fogged!!!! Called My Boy At Acura Said Bring It In And He'll Warranty It Tryin To Get The Other One Fogged Up Too So I Can Get Both Warrantied And Take The Fogged Ones And Experiment On Something I Wanna Do

 

try wet sanding to get the haze off. there is a DIY tread here somewhere on how to. i think you use 200 grit sandpaper and then finish it off with some polish. comes out super smooth and looking brand new. then get the rockblocker film to keep it from happening again.
