found this on a honda owners site
Spring 2004
Safety Recall Campaign: Headlight Switch
Dear Honda Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice? Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2001-02 Civics and 2000-01 Insights. A terminal in the headlight wire harness can overheat and may cause the low-beams to fail without warning. Although the high-beam position remains operational, an unexpected loss of low beams could result in a crash.
What should you do? Call any authorized Honda dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will inspect the headlight switch and replace all needed parts. This work will be done free of charge. Please plan to leave your vehicle for half a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling.
Who to contact if you experience problems. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive from your Honda dealer, you may write to:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Honda Automobile Customer Service
Mail Stop 500-2N-7A
1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746
If you believe that American Honda or the dealer has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in your vehicle, without charge, within a reasonable period of time (60 days from the date you first contact the dealer for a repair appointment), you may submit a complaint to:
Administrator
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
400 Seventh Street, SW
Washington, DC 20590
Or call the toll-free Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236.
What to do if you feel this notice is in error. Our records show that you are the current owner or lessee of a 2001-02 Civic or 2000-01 Insight involved in this campaign. If this is not the case, or the name/address information is not correct, please fill out and return the enclosed, postage-paid Information Change Card. We will then update our records.
If you already paid to have a defective headlight switch replaced, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Refer to the attached instructions for eligibility requirements and the reimbursement procedure.
Lessor Information. Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within 10 days.
If you have questions. If you have any questions about this notice, or need assistance with contacting a Honda dealer, please call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009, and select menu option #2.
We apologize for any inconvenience this campaign may cause you.
Sincerely,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

Rep Power: 283 I had this taken care of last year and my low beams fail on me when I'm driving. Smoke was also coming from the top of the steering coulmn. I removed the cover but could not find the source. Anybody know what to do. I have the TYC projectors and I know the dealer is gonna wanna charge for this since the recalled part was replaced.

Rep Power: 283 Screw it I'm going tomorrow to have them look at it with my TYC's in place. If they did a poor job on the recalled part it's on them.
