Blown headlamp already?
 
I thought I was seeing things or actually not when I didn't see the reflection of my passenger side headllamp earlier tonight. I was wondering if any of you guys have already changed one of them . If so how exactly did you get in there to do it?. And if anybody knows the answeer to this question; will an rx-8 with only 7,000 miules be warranteed for such a ridiculous item? Fill me in guys, as always thank you for your input.

I asked my dealer on Saturday and they told me they warranty the HID system in full until 40k. I'm not sure if it changes dealer-to-dealer but I wouldn't imagine so.

Yes - I'm curious to know if this was the Xenon/HID lights or the Halogen lights?

I would not recommend changing the discharge lamps by yourself. The lamps are excited by a 25,000 Volt electric field. The replacement procedure is complicated just to get to the bulbs.

Let the dealer do it. Especially if its under warranty.
