Head Lamp Problem!
My right hand side HL is forming condensation in it!
This started after it came from the Repair shop, the other side HL is new!
The repair garage man sort of washed his hand from it and sent me to the Honda Garage!
Had anyone have an idea why?
Is the HL a goner? Or its something wrong when it was re enstalled?
thanks

I was going to say its because you cleared your headlight, but you are from malta and all Euro S2000s come with the clear diffusers anyway!
If it came from the repair shop it could be that the light had sustained some minor damage that somehow broke the rear of it - or when the replaced the lights, they forgot to reinstall the rubber boot that sits around the bulbs.
Either way water is getting in. Best way to solve it is to remove your light and bake it in the oven for ~10mins (@225*) to dry it out. When done, seal it with some silicone and look for any other gaps/cracks and seal those if possible. also, make sure the rubber boots are attached.

I believe thats something was not put right after it was renstalled!
I will go back to the Repair shop and take it off and see what is exactly wrong with it!
E! also note that is a JDM, as Euro specs do not come with clear lamps

You can also remove the bulbs and insert tea bags or small cloth bags filled with salt (or any other dessicant). They'll 'inhale' the moisture. Just remember to take 'em out before you go driving.

00-01 JDM and EDM lamps had clear diffusers and black housings
02-03 JDM and EDM lamps had clear diffusers and chrome housing
04+ JDM and EDM are the same as USDM apart from the beam pattern
