will the dealer replace a light bulb under warranty?

My head light bulb went out, will they replace it for free? Or is it considered a wear and tear item?

Thanks

Mine was replaced free of charge. Was told they have a "lifetime" warranty.

I just dont get it help me, maby my english decoding is bad today (i am french)

How can you say the dealer will replace for free when you dont even know if is car is still under warranty?

Xenon/hid cost a fortune to replace, how could it be under "lifetime" waranty???

Have never asked but I would be amazed if they said the bulbs have a lifetime warranty. Most HID bulbs have between a 2,000 and 3,000 hour lifetime. I drive with mine on all the time and spend an average of 2 hours a day in the car. That only gives me ~3-4 years of bulb life.

I have xeon's on my 03 6mt coupe, about a year ago I took it to
Willow Grove Infiniti, in Willow Grove Pa, they replaced the bulb free of charge, & told me the manufacturer has a lifetime warranty on them.(The headlight manufacturer, not Infiniti).
They also told me it was about a $300.00 replacement. I tried to find that in writing, but I can't find it in the owner's manual. But I still wasn't charged.

they will replace it free of charge as long as your vehicle is still under factory warranty. Not the extended.

I guess if you ever do need another one there are always people who have changed their bulbs and would sell you their stock ones. (I am one of them)
