wish i could help, but i have no experience with them. I remember being in the accord forums before I got my TSX, and there were alot of condensation issues. It must be a bummer.
Is the condensation due to poor sealing? Have you done anything such as switching to jdm or upgrading the headlight bulbs? (just getting background info for other people)

its stock headlight w/ that problem, i would say just go to the dealer and ask them to replace it, since u didnt modify anything related to the headlight. and its still under warrranty right?

Thanks, I've recently asked ACURA when I took my g/f's car in for her dash light recall...they said she has no more warranty due to high milage now and told me it would cost 750-900 to fix -_-'' :jeffy:
As for Kallusive, no more since 2007.
Due to www.Kallusive.com Clothing, team president didnt want to afflicate anything with the car club anymore...
I roll with TWCompetition now :p

just buy some cheap headlights from ebay. You can easily get them without projectors for less than $100 a pair, including shipping, then put your projectors in. Problem solved.
In your case the condensation may be due to old salt bags, but it's not improbable that the housings seals deteriorated.

I got a letter from Acura today. They admit there is a headlight condensation problem in 04-05 vehicles. Vehicles under warranty get free replacements, those out of warranty - it depends on the district manager's good faith clause - basically, if you ask nicely, he should approve it, as well. There is a TSB on that, I'll add it to our DIY/FAQ Menu soon
