Default HA! New Headlights!

so my headlights are getting all ugly for some reason. (bunch of scratches on them for no reason at all) i guess its normal with our cars....i went to the dealer this morning and after waiting for about 20 minutes, the service manager comes out and says, "yea we will replace these for you! " Woohooo! lol. my warranty is up next month so im trying to get everything squared away before its up. Not bad huh!

You scored....is this a factory warranty or GMPP? My dealer said GMPP won't cover mine, and they look terrible.

Certified Pre Owned it sounds like.....mine look like the previous owner tried to "fix" it but just damaged them more. I heard they are close to 1k each to buy new?

Fawking Grand Slam, you may be the first person I know to get new headlights. You may as well ask them to replace the skins on all of the seats and the carpeting.

Pretty good score. I had mine replaced about 500 miles before my warranty ran out as well.

Damn man! Bad ***!!! Mine look really good compared to some that ive seen but they are a little faded on the top like they all seem to be. Im going to sand and do a light tint so that wont matter soon anyway...

Awesome deal, sad thing is the headlights would only cost like 250 a pc if they didnt have that worthless *** washer nozzle that does absolutely nothing.
