Foggy Headlight
Has anyone experienced a foggy headlight on their Honda? I just purchased my brand new Honda and after riding home in the rain the first day, the headlight was all fogged-up. I have not been back to the dealership since my purchase and wanted to see if anyone experienced and resolved the problem.

inside or outside the glass.

If its inside the glass it probably just didn't seal off when they put the bulb in.
Since its new they should have no problem fixing it for you.

Leg Humps The Snap On Tool Man
Glass or plastic lens? Glass housing do well when cleaned thoroughly, just be carefull with solvants or presure washers on the inside as I have seen silver backings flake up. Hot soapy water usually does well enough. Plastic lenses can be polished and sealed. Find somebody with a kit and pay the $40 to have it done correctly. The cheap smear on waxes are a scam and will turn to crud with the first rain. Even the Turtle Wax brand is junk!
To propperly fix a plastic lens you have it sanded with ultra fine grit to remove the oxidized plastic then pollished with two or three levels then sealed with eurothane heat soaked under lights then let sit dry and warm for 24 hours.
My dad does this as a mobile service as a hobby. When done right the results look 95% new. Like sparkly brand new. What's more the results last as long as the factory finnish and in some cases longer. Like spending a buck fifty to have your car proffesionally detailed before selling this item also pushes a vehicle up a class in resale quality. Just sayin'.

Somethings fishy about this guy...

A panda walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead.
As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!"
The panda yells back at the bartender, "Hey, I'm a PANDA! Look it up!" The bartender opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for panda:
"A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves.

That fits this pretty well.
