I have a 100k warranty because i bought a CPO (certified preowned). Does that cover headlight bulb replacement? I'm afraid if i do it myself, that I'll get moisture contamination in the headlight assembly. (I don't want any fogging or dew inside my headlight)

i'm not sure of the terms of the CPO. however, something as simple has a healight bulb- i would just replace it myself. for me, it's not worth the hassle of driving to the dealer, dropping the car off, and all the other jibberish that goes along with going to the stealer- just to get a bulb replaced. replacing the headlight bulb is an easy process that takes less than 5minutes per side. this is all assuming it is just a simple burned out bulb- not some sort of a short or other problem that caused the outtage.

In Canada it does not cover bulb replacement.

I doubt that even the original warranty covers lights, its a regular wear-and-tear item, so the CPO warranty wouldn't cover it either.

Maybe you should read your warranty?
How should we know?
This might help.

I've never heard of any warranty covering light bulbs !

that's like getting warranty replacement on a AA battery...

The manual has a very detailed description of what needs to be done. Very simple to do even for those that are not mechanically inclined. Just remember not to touch the glass part of the new bulb. The oil from your fingers could damage it.

Changing a halogen lamp is simple. It can be done without any tools. Just don't touch the lamp capsule. The quartz envelope will not redeposit the tungsten on the filament if it is contaminated by finger oils. Just wear gloves. Don't be concerned with fog or moisture inside the housing. There is a vent to allow moisture to escape.

The lamp for Bixenon headlights is a different story. The very high pressure gas inside the lamp can cause injury if the lamp should shatter. Protective clothing, and a face shield should be used when changing these lamps. The lamp also starts the arc with about 30,000 volts. The connector is very special and must be kept cleaner than clean. Just the slightest misalignment, or contamination can cause arcing. This can lead to a ruined housing. You don't wanna know how much those are, 'cause it will make you cry. For these lamps, I suggest you let the dealer change the bulb.

I have changed mine out twice so far with no problems with moisture. I try and do most of the installs on my car so I dont have to break my wallet at MB Dealer/STEALER!!!
