Try to get them to give you a new headlight and keep the one that fogged up! Now you have spare headlight housing to clear out...

And if you don't want to clear them give me (or sell me) the bad one so I can clear it out!

I just noticed that my fog light housing has some condinsation. But I just put some superwhites in there. What is the best way to get rid of it or do i have to go to the dealers..

Mr , Had the same problem with my fogs. I removed the fog light housings and removed the ventilation caps and used a hair dryer to dry up the condensation. I still continue to get a lil condensation in them after a trip to the touch free car washes. My guess is that the under body carage sprays into it.

I got my car from Montclair too, but I don't really like their service. If they don't take good care of you, go to Park Ave.

Sometimes there is a air leak and u will get condensation...but it will go away with warm tempurate. Just park outside, warm/hot temp., remove the bulb socket and leave it there for awhile 10-20 min...this will let all the mosture out.

They wont let u keep any old parts from a warranty repair... Acura requires dealers to ship back the old parts... sucks....

If your in with the parts department, have them tag the item. If Acura doesn't call it back..its yours. Sometimes it just isn't worth the price to ship a part back
