Lights and Warranty (US)

My owners manual gives instructions on how to replace headlights and high-beams (cars without lighting package obviously, like mine) as well as rear lights (reverse, brake, and tails).

The turn signals (front or back), LED DRLs, rear fog, and third brake light aren't listed.

Does that mean that they will be covered by warranty (until warranty expires, obviously) for replacement when they burn out? I hope so! My book doesn't mention anything either way.

Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

Here my local dealer has a policy of replacing all failed lights free of charge no matter what the age. My old W203 had its failed lights replaced at the grand old age of 6 years no charge. I think they regard it as cheap public relations

My dealer, too...

I just ran out of warranty. Before this, the dealer would replace failed bulbs.

Hopefully the dealers continue to replace bulbs under warranty/good will. I wonder if they will now that entire light assemblies have to be replaced/removed to get to bulbs.
