headlight film

Did anyone get their headlight covers changed under warranty because of film inside the cover. Is there a canadian bulletin about this problem?

There is a spider inside my left tail light, I guess u call it film in both of my car's head light. Buz I believe the foam from the car machine went inside the unit or something. So I rub the head lights hundred times and its still there.

I informed my mazda dealer to check it. They said the region manager has to come and see it due to the fact it's over 1000 bucks. But lucky me the manager never been there and they just call me and said go ahead.

But problems left behind, head lights aim are not level. Have to bring her back for alignment.

The headlights have a stagger if you have the HIDS (zenon) as on the GT model. This stagger is proper.
I am waiting for all head and taillights to be replaced. I submitted my digital pictures in February already and am still waiting. Headlights and tallights all had condensation and one taillight cracked due to water and basically fell apart. It looks like it internally disintegrated. Maybe they are reengineering them because the initial design was obviously flawed for many vehicles. Soooo, I am still waiting. They had no arguement about the problem as I took pictures.

Tail light 1 week preorder, Front head lights almost 1 month, as I have mentioned the regional manager has to see the film due to the higher amount of the replacement cost. But the regional manager didn't show up but so do speak the head lights have to be inspected by the service manager, then the regional manager to come and do the approval.

They have all the parts waiting, but the approval needs to take some time. I have to broke an other appt. for the alignment of the front head lights.
