I've recently noticed the +12V lighter illumination ring wasn't working with the headlights so I took things apart and discovered the bulb was out. To my surprise (and the Honda parts CSR) these were actually in stock.
But after getting them home I discovered the new bulbs were missing the blue color "condom" sleeve of the original. So I called back to the dealer and found out the part numbers have changed (big surprise). Apparently these clear bulbs are all that is available.
Is it possible to remove the colored sleeve from the old and install it on the new?
I'm thinking not since this has been fused on by heat and age and even if it was designed to come off at one time there is little chance now.
Better question has anyone a DIY fix for this like some specialized plastic paint dip or something?
