You will be sorely disappointed. Honda no longer makes cars that are
intended to last, or be reliable.
Sucks, but that's the truth.
And think about it: they would rather you come back every five or so
years and buy another one.
It'll take several cycles of that before people get the idea that Hondas
are no longer what they were. But what the hell, by that time (20 more
years?) the guys who invented this scheme have made their millions and
are long gone, and have left the resultant GM-style mess to the new guys.

And what if there is no alt.autos.honda on my news server?
I don't get to read your pithy reply?
The headlights on my 2005 ford are much brighter than my 2003 Civic.
The Civic also has hazing that I can't get rid of with a lens cleaning kit,
and both have recently cracked, now I have moisture inside one, maybe both,
so I'm in the market for complete replacements.

How unfortunate that my pearls of wisdom have not graced your ears.

I delight in your pearls of wisdom in the rec.autos.makers.honda that I do
get. I was going to browse through the previous bits to look for a
recommended supplier for the lenses.

I like wrecking yards for some items, but I wouldn't look there for
replacements for pieces of plastic that have suffered from aging, since all
of them would be the same age as mine.
And I didn't get to see your recommendation to the OP about brighter
headlights, unless that was it, that his lenses were bad, and you suggest
junkyard replacements.
This week, I am also in need of the underside fairing plastics for my 2003 Civic
Hybrid.
I had been driving the Ford for a while, and forgot how low the Civic is.
I pulled in too far against a parking bumper curb, snagged something on a
chunk of rebar used to anchor the parking curb, and ripped out some of the
underside of the Civic when I backed up.

I suggested GE Nighthawk bulbs.
He never really said just why he considered his headlights to be
not-bright-enough.

Ay. Plastic body-stuff that lives under the car has an exceedingly hard
life indeed. Plus, cars in wrecking yards are carried around by forklift,
which tends to destroy everything south of the rocker panels.
Ever considered a rice-boy fiberglass kit?
