Wow, its been a long time since posting on this forum! My RTL/nav is coming up on its 10th anniversary and about to touch 200k miles. To celebrate I had nearly $1600 in maintenance done at the local Honda dealer; timing belt, tensioner, acc. belt, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission, transfer case, rear diff and they replaced one of the transmission seals that was leaking and topped it off with a new battery. A lot of work for sure but my plan is to keep it for a few years (hopefully) before getting a new one. It's been flawless the entire time requiring only normal maintenance.
The final step in this thorough renewing process was to install new headlight assemblies. They had become badly fogged over the years to the point I couldn't see very well at night. Included are two pics; one with a comparison of the new vs. original assemblies and one when the job was complete. A massive difference to say the least!
The job was much easier than I anticipated and is well within the abilities of an average shade tree mechanic. I was also pleasantly surprised at the quality of the headlight assemblies purchased on Amazon. Assuming they were made in China, the quality and fit was beyond reproach and came packaged as well as anything I've seen. Total cost was $140 shipped plus another 50 bucks for silverstar ultra bulbs (I know they won't last long but WTH). I haven't tried them out yet but looking forward to a brighter night time experience!
