Come on....for a 50K+ car and that's what the dealer said? That dealer better know what they are talking about. That's just sound stupid to me.

It's documented on many forums that the Stealerships are not considering this a warranty issue.

Sounds like time to replace/upgrade to ECodes!

They're deeming it as normal and not a defect. That would really **** me off...

How is moisture in a the headlight be normal? That's ridiculous. Go see another dealership if you can. If they say it's normal, then have them state it to another potential customer and see if their tune changes.

Noticed the same issue with mine and it sucks. Haven't tried to make a warranty claim as I'm afraid it would just be a waste of my time...

Unfortunately I have the same thing in both my headlights as well. Taking to the dealer on Fri for 5k service, we'll see what they say and I'll report back.

Same here..Pfaff Audi in Newmarket says it's not a warranty item. The funny thing is I work for Honda and moisture in headlights is considered a safety issue and replaced all the time. **** you Pfaff. These guys are so full of themselves.
