Moisture in Headlight Assembly

j969k · Dec 7, 2004

I just picked up my new '04 LX and about 2 weeks of driving it around in the damp, cold New England weather, noticed that there was a little bit of moisture that had formed on the interior, upper, inside corner of both headlight assemblies.

(I am used to this happening in my 2 older accords as the seals are well worn but didn't expect it on my new ody.)

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Thanks!

Nope, I've never seen this on my 03 Odyssey.... or any other of my Hondas. That doesn't sound normal. I'd take it back and have the dealer take a look.

It's not normal. Have them replace both headlight assemblies under warranty. There should never be moisture inside the housing.

Agree with accordian, there should not be any moisture.

I had a 8 year old car once with water inside the head lamp assembly. Because the cost of the head lamp assembly was to expensive, like $200. I used a glass/ceramic drill 1/8 bit to make 2 holes on each corner, to let the water evacuate. Sure enough the 9004 bulb would burn out more often, like every 18 to 24 months after that, but it was cheaper to replace a 9004 bulb once a year than the whole headlamp. I kept the car another 6 years after that.
