Acura just released a recall on the RLX headlights so my mom will be taking hers in within the next couple of months. I told her that if they need to replace them, then she needs to ask to keep the old ones so that I can do a retrofit onto my 2000 coupe. Any thoughts?

Yeah, the old "I'd like my old parts back so I know you actually installed new parts" request probably won't work here. But hey you can try.

There is probably a liability factor as well, since it's a recall part they don't want any bad ones out there to cause future problems for consumers, or them. They might even inventory the recalled parts as they come back in.
What was the recall for, anyway?

They recall is for a reflective backing piece inside I believe. I guess it is delaminating which isn't a huge problem anyway.

You won't get them back, no matter what you say or ask.

As techs doing warranty work, Honda/Acura wants the old ones back upon request. If they request them and we didnt get the repair order stamped that we returned them to the parts dept., WE have to pay for them. It's happened... I almost had to buy a throttle body from a pilot because it got misplaced... luckily we found it.
