Default RSX headlight - defect ?

On my 06 RSX Type S, I noticed that a "bubble" inside the headlight housing. Anyone have this on their RSX ? Is there a recall or service bulletin related to the headlights ?

Thanks for responding.

It is not a rock ship. There is a "bubble" on the black part of the inner housing of the headlight (in front of bulbs).

I use my high beams "normally". How bad was your housing ? Did you happen to have a dealer look at it ? What year is your car ?

Cool glad you had it fixed for free. I had to get mine replaced twice because of moisture though. So stick it to the dealer.

Your not actually sticking it to the dealer. You come in, technician replaces parts, dealership makes a warranty claim and Honda pays the dealership.

So stick it to Honda.

Looks like condensation in the headlights. Not sure.
