MOISTURE BUILD UP IN HEADLAMPS. HONDA CLAIMS THAT MOISTURE BUILDUP INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IS NORMAL AND NOT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/ADDRESSED. PER HONDA ANYTIME THERE IS A REDUCTION OF TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE THE HEADLAMP IT WILL CAUSE CONDENSATION INSIDE THE HEADLAMP. MOISTURE INSIDE THE HEADLAMP CAUSES REFRACTION OF THE LIGHT AND REDUCES NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY. SO ANYTIME YOU DRIVE AT NIGHT AFTER THE TEMPERATURE HAS DROPPED YOUR VISIBILITY IS REDUCED DUE TO THE MOISTURE.
