alanwalne I dont do that no but in principle if I wanted to I should be able to with no worry. I repeat where is this in the handbook? are you telling me a handbook needs to explain how to use the indicator or open a window, but that im expected to know the molecular properties of glass! thats before I knew it was glass anyway because I could never have imagined the foglights would be glass and the headlights polycarbonate.

So the sarcastic remarks on a forum designed for owners that want help is not constructive is it?

I asked for helpful input did I not.

thanks for trying though

I admit the last comment was a bit of a rant

However I stand by my first comment that if you are going to write to Honda remove the date of the incident from your letter ,I would not recommend lying about the date, but there have been very misty cold mornings recently, last Saturday was not a good example.

In Honda's defence I have had previous cars with front fog lights (mk IV Astra and 2 x 53 plate onwards Renault Scenics and on them the glass is so thick that when it clouds or pits (as they eventually do) then the fog lights are rendered almost useless for their designed purpose. They didn't crack I will admit. So should they fit glass that clouds or thinner glas that works, but is not as tough. I think due to extra heat all cars use glas rather than plastic foglight covers. I am willing to be corrected on that point.

PS I agree that Gary is a great service manager.
