How old is your car and how many clicks??? from what I heard these things are supposed to last the left of the car !!! But I gues sit depends on dealer relationship... I'm sure there must be some "goodwill" warranty out there.

Of course all the above is as along as you did not open and modify your lights and there is no evidence of tamper !!!

U Modded the Lights and the bulbs went out? What a Coincidence.. Your glad they arent voiding your warranty because I bet its not hard to prove Clearing your lights did it.. Anyways the Inverter I think is the thing that gives power to your light and that costs a pretty penny + $400 for HID Lights + Labor and all the other junk.. I think $950 is not too much for the labor that has to be done and I dont think theres any other alternative.. Just drive with passenger Light I guess LOL..

Sorry MAN but your outta luck, hope your dealer is nice and helps u out..

Since you had the lights apart stop and take a careful look at the wiring for the headlite.I have seen on numerous occasions where the wiring is ever so slightly pulled out of the connectors.Also verify the fuses are all in good working order.Jens
