Default question re; burned out fog light?

Hi, I have a 2015 RX I bought back in May of this year. I never used the fog lights until yesterday. This may sound cheap but it is just a question. Is this bulb covered under the warranty since it is only 6 months old? Why the light is out already is a mystery in itself unless it is wiring or just a defective bulb.

Do you have LED fogs? Those might not be so cheap after all.

P.S.
Nothing wrong with using Lexus warranty for a bulb.
You won't get many chances to do try it out otherwise.

Your RX is only 6 months old so the bulb should not have burnt out yet. Regardless of cost I would have Lexus replace it.

Six months? Wow, that sounds like a defective bulb. Contact your dealer, they should take care of it. BTW, I've had brake bulbs changed for free outside of warranty.
