Default more warranty issues (headlights)

Well, having gotten new strikers for my top a few weeks back (works great, no lift at highway speeds now), I noticed some bubbling in my headlight area, namely the black matte area just in front of the headlight.

I haven't "cleared" my headlights like some so they are completely factory sealed. I plan to head to Marin Honda this week and get them replaced under warranty... just curious if anyone else has had this problem.

Also, anyone have the part numbers for the correct LHD clear versions? I'm wondering if they have to order them in pairs in which case maybe I can *suggest* the right euro version.

This question has been asked before, and yes I have the problem on one side only and only on our 2000. I am hoping that it will develop on the other side so I can get two new headlights. I have about a year of warranty left so I'm going to wait a bit before I have it changed. There are seveal others that have this as well.

I believe yu888 had his headlights replaced under warranty, mine have the same issues. A bubble underneath the lens on the black part of the headlight. Unfortunately I am out of warranty.

This has definitely been discussed before. I personally saw bubbling on a car. The funny thing is, this doesn't happen on all the cars. The other S2Ks, including mine, did not have the bubbling.
