Known issues on the 1992 Prelude. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all five trace back to aftermarket replacement headlamp and combination lamp assemblies sold for use on the Prelude, from K2 Motor, AAI Motorsports, CK Motorsports, PRO-A Motors, and Poli-Auto. In each case the lamps were missing the amber side reflex reflectors required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, which can leave the car poorly illuminated to other drivers and raise the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 23 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind your lighting circuits and every other system are in this manual.
Whether you're sorting out a lighting or wiring issue, an aftermarket lamp swap, or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct spec for your specific 1992 Prelude.
