MELTING HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS

has anyone been successful in getting toyota to pay for their melted housings? if so, was the vehicle still under the original factory warrantee?

 

my melted lense problem is over. i was about to order two new housings from a dealer on line, when i decided to go over to our local dealer and see what they are or aren't doing about this. no,be aware that toyota has issued upgraded replacement parts as per a service bulletin T-SB-0129-11. so for the corp or any dealer to tell you they know nothing about this is just pain bullshit. so, i just asked the writer what they were or were not doing about the problem. he said because the 3-36 warrantee is gone, he would talk to the manager and see if they would "goodwill" a replacement. he came back and said they would replace with the upgraded parts and charge me $10.00 "deductible". so, they did just that. and they gave me a loaner to drive while it was being fixed. i think i really lucked out here considering what i have read on this forum and others on line. so, give it a try. nothing to lose!
