2-3 weeks after buying the extended warranty for the car, my left side xenon light started to switch off..... So I went to the dealer, who found the problem, that was the xenon bulb.... Not the whole xenon system, JUST THE BULB ITSELF!!!

So they told me the extended warranty does not cover the xenon bulbs.... Ok I told we have to change it as I don't want to drive with only one light, but it cost me 450 USD!!! 450 USD for only one bulb!!

I was a bit surprised.....

 

Price Fiction
450 USD
Best of luck

 

you can find them on ebay for much less, and just install yourself. garax 6k should run you 80-100 a pair, depending on the vendor and any deals running. check out the vendor classified section. GL

 

yea best bet is buying bulbs thru a vendor. you can get a pair for 100 shipped

 

hah. guess you found out the hard way.
extended warranties are useless
and the stealer is a rip off with 400% markup.

 

What are extended warranties good for?? Have any of you guys found your extended warranties useful and saved you the big buck$$ in repairs??

 

does the original manufacturer's warranty cover bulbs? I know they don't cover brakes, tires and other things that "wear" out due to driving.

 

You actually agreed to that?

I got a pair of new spare Philips Xeneco bulbs, the very same ones that the dealership sells, for $50. That's $25 each, instead of $450. :P Buyer beware.

By the way, Xenon Gas is not that expensive. It costs about $1 per gram of gas, and you can imagine how many bulbs one gram worth of GAS can make.

 

Jay, where? I need new one. D4s?

 

I posted a thread about it a while ago, it was eBay. I did a quick search and found this today:

Thanks Jay.

 

No kidding. Really?

 

This should be a hint to go do your homework.

This is why I hate warranty, they cover everything accept your butt.

 

omg...yes you should have done your homework. even a replacement HID set is less than a $100.

 

Stefanati - are you feeling robbed?
