I just got a letter yesterday from Tustin dealership. They recalling all 2006 headlamps for coupe. Just wonderin if any1 get this letter too.

 

it started because of a canadian watch group saying the beams are misaimed...

 

This is the umteenth thread concerning this issue. Do a search.

im getting mine changed this week

 

i got mine done on Monday. hey if you do it make sure they give you the 07 Sedan as a loaner. Dont take any 06, make sure you drive the 07 sedan... that was the best part of the whole recall thing.
after recall i noticed no difference in the light itself, but noticed the headlight house is a bit darker than before. it used to be silver, but now it's dark gray matching my grill

 

I got my recall too. WOW I guess we all will.

 

i didnt get a letter, i just dropped by the dealer and axed about it.

 

its about the alignment of the light so you wont notice anything

 

and if your cutoff is good..no need to worry..dealer had 5
G's sent back already "fine" no replacement

 

that's where i fixed mine. make sure you get the 07 sedan for a loaner. ask them for it they usually tend to run out of 06's before they start rolling 07's

 

I have 3M clear bra on my headlights and I already know the dealer will not replace those (I am out $75) .

here is the question... is it worth my $75 to get this done??? or should I just keep the current headlights? is there any advantage to the new ones ? are they better in any way?? (maybe I'll just wait till one of mine burns out and then go in and replace them) - that is worth $75 to me.

 

I have to switch my hood out before I take it in for the recall. I don't want them to crack my CF hood by closing it wrong. I noticed mine today when I left my girls house. the driver side is higher then the passanger side.

 

I had my lights done and the install looked like crap. One light was almost 1/4 of an inch below the body. It looked like somebody pushed it down. It seemed like the new lights didn't fit as good as previous. Also I have noticed that the old lights were rubbing against the body and scraped of paint to bare metal. I had the dealer put up some touch up paint so it will not rust.
I also had a clear LEX light covers but they were installed by the dealer when I bought the car so they had to replace them. Can't coment on performance because I didn't pick the G yet. It's still in the shop.

 

^ you won't see any difference

 

if you have a pre-06 coupe but got the 06 headlights, do they still replace them?
