Just had entire headlight assembly replaced after being backed into.

Brand new assembly ordered and installed bodyshop (along with some other work to repair front end)

Now I am seeing condensation show up, I don't remember ever seeing this happen before...

Any suggestions, do I just take it back to the body shop, maybe Acura ??
(Is this covered by warranty)

 

it may be there due to may reasons
1. Lights not firmly in place
2. light not sealed properly
3. ballast washer is not proper

 

That's a tricky question. Since the body shop installed it then you would normally let them fix it, but since the part is covered by Acura then the dealer would take care of it. However, different dealers and body shops have their own rules, so check with the body shop first and if they won't help check with the dealer. One of them will certainly make it right for you.

 

I am going to try for the bodyshop first, then if they give me a problem, I am pretty good friends with my service rep at Acura, I think he would probably take care of it for me.

What is the trick to fix this though?

Is it removing the humid air from the assembly, then resealing it?
Replacing the entire assembly with a new factory sealed one (including blubs)?

What is the success rate of people being able to get this issue resolved.

The passenger side I can understand how this happened.. BUT
The strange part is, there was no damage to the driver side front, and I don't think any reason to mess with driver side light. However, now I am seeing condensation in that one as well, and that is factory OEM.

Also, if I mention the light was replaced to Acura can/will they refuse service?
