Have not posted here in a while as all is going well.

Today a friend told me he canceled a night trip because he noticed a
headlight was out.


I asked him why he did not just take it to the nearest oil change place
and pay maybe $25. It would be a fifteen minute delay.


He told me that would void his car warranty.


Before I blast him for being an idiot thought I'd ask here if he was
being a fool.
Won't void his warranty but if they screw something up THAT would not
be warranted. If he has HID or LED headlights I would not let an
oilchange place touch it. Not even with normal bulbs on some cars
where access is not VERY SIMPLE.

I read an article yesterday about changing the whole light assembly,
with lens, when the lens is so cloudy it doesn't light up the road well
enough.

But that looks like a real pain to do, complete with booby traps. Or is
it easy? 2005 Toyota Camry/Solara.
Polish them. Many of the aftermarker replacements are pretty shiity
(from personal experience)
