recall: headlight/taillight for 07
#16
The previous recall on the 06 coupe headlights due to the clarity of the projector lenses. What happen was the recalled headlights has clear lenses, making the cut-off of the light extremely bright (with blue color cut-off line, something most of us HID retrofitter really like :P). So recalled headlights then got replaced with Fresnel lenses, making the cut off blur with no color on the cut off line.

I guess not all workers are the dealerships are honest

^^^ I can agree with you that other issues might have been the alignment, but I am sure that clear was another issue why it was recalled. It seems like all newer cars with projectors are likely to equipped with fresnel lenses. Perhaps this might be a DOT standard now, this I wont claim.
I was one of those buyer from the guy who worked at the dealership and sold off the recalled headlights. Picked up a pair of FX headlights for $75 with clear lense projectors. I opened up the headlight myself.

If it has to do with the lights not meeting brightness specs, count me out. They did a headlight/taillight recall on my 03 FX35 b/c I guess they were too bright and were a potential danger to oncoming traffic. Now my lights feel like they're about 50% as bright as originally. I can hardly see at night now. It sucks! In fact, I bought a pair of pre-recall lights off ebay, so I may get them installed soon. Wish I had never done it.
