Are Light Bulbs Covered Under Warranty?

I guess they don't build 'em like they used to because my left front turn signal bulb has gone south already (not working and blinking real fast). I've had the 2k2 Civic for 2 1/2 weeks and it has less than 1,000 miles. This is my third new Honda and I never once had to take either of the first two in for warranty work.

Wish me luck--hopefully it will start tomorrow when I go to take it in. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Man, you take that in and demand they fix it. A 2 1/2 week old car should not have that problem. Just take it in and say I need y'all to fix my blinker light. That's it. It's under the warranty and don't let them tell you different. Damn dealers. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] Grrr.

Darn thing...now it's working this morning. Maybe it's not the bulb. What else could it be? I think I'll take it in today if for no other purpose than just to document the turn signal and the intermittent hard to start problems. Am I just wasting my time? This shouldn't be happening with 840 miles on the car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

wouldn't hurt for the dealership to take a look at it cause it's still under warranty. Take them for everything you can cause in time you'll be getting nothing for free.

My super blue headlights burned out after 3 months, the guy said he couldn't replace them because they are aftermarket, I got them stock with my car and proved it to him, they replaced them and saved me $200 bucks.

Dude, just take it back to the dealer and then get really pissed off at them. Tell them that it's not acceptable and then **** all over yourself and fall on the ground or something. Believe me, it's their responsibility and you better make them understand that. Damn, f*cking **** sucking dealers I hate them so much. Grrrr. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

The dealer was real nice about my problem even though they couldn't get it to do it. They took the bulb out and inspected the socket but everthing looked fine. If it happens again they said they would replace the bulb and if that doesn't fix it then they would change the relay. I'll just keep an eye on it for now as it has been working fine all day today.

Yep as soon as you take your car to see the tech at the honda dealer the problem is always working fine, but then when you get it home it starts acting up again. Scared of the Tech I think
