Although is very uncommon for LED lights to fail, that is my case. I must mention the treat was very profesional, they did everything by the book and even told me there was a slight leak of exhaust at the downpipe / cat back flange. On Feb I changed the OEM exhaust system for an aftermarket one and since mid Oct I started seen a black odorless water drop in my garage floor, after it drys is basically exhaust byproduct black dust so I was already aware of it. They’ll install a new gasket on Monday as well.
Great news on the LED replacement. Glad that the dealer will be replacing the whole headlight assembly under warranty.

Default Bad LED module

Well today I went to get my car back at the dealership and just when they were moving it to return it to me the same low beam turned off again.. they took it in again and found out the LED module was the culprit this time. Remember, this modules dont come in the new headlight, basically one have to take it from the old HL and put it in the new one. So although they’ll keep it another day to replace the module, I wasn’t wrong at all as I suspected since the beginning it was the LED module. They checked the bulb and was ok.
