Related to headlights, 1990 Honda CRX. All manner of water droplets on inside
of headlight lenses. Got to be rusting everything. What to do? Drill ventilation holes someplace? Quent |

This headlamp was designed when the US DOT was still pretending the UK hadn't tried the dumb "semi-sealed headlamp" idea in the '70s and found it to be a dumb idea. You can try drilling ventillation holes (remove the headlamp assembly and drill close to the front of the reflector, just behind the lens, on the BOTTOM, preferably in an area protected but not blocked by a lip seal). You can also try removing the O-rings from the bulbs. If the bulbs will still fit securely without the O-rings, their removal will aid in breathing. You're fighting an uphill battle; the '80s-early '90s Honda North American-market composite headlamps are rather notorious rusters. DS |

Brown & Watson International is an Australian firm that licence the "Narva" name from Narva Speziallampen (Plauen) AG, in Germany -- a very old bulb company acquired by Philips when the Berlin Wall came down. Brown & Watson's product range includes some bulbs made by Narva in Germany, some bulbs sourced elsewhere in Germany, some bulbs sourced elsewhere in the world, and a fair amount of related items (auxiliary lamps made in Asia, electrical tape, terminals, wire, etc.) Candlepower, Inc. is an American firm that is the North American sales branch of Narva Speziallampen (Plauen) AG. So no, Narva Australia (Brown & Watson) are not in the US, and a bulb sold in Australia under the "Narva" name is not necessarily a Narva-made bulb. DS |
