Anybody had a headlight replaced under warranty?
And if so how long did it take to turn up?
I found out i had incorrect headlights fitted last year by Reading and have been waiting since July for a new pair! I know it's not the dealers fault for the delay but it does seem a bit poor on GM's part. I know the UK cars have different lamps to Europe but if you had a front end smack your car could be off the road for months!

In this instance Rob, it may not be a GM problem.
I'll check availability tomorrow but the headlight units are never an issue when we call off new cars which always need a light swap at the PDI centre in Rotterdam.

That seems to be where the problem is! I have been told you can't order then from the States as the UK headlights show as Accessories and are on back order!

Hi Rob,

Both right hand side and left hand side units in Victory Red are in stock in Europe and we could have new ones here tomorrow.
Like I said, this isn't a GM problem.

I had a delay on mine (when new) as they apparently didn't have any yellow UK spec lights in Rotterdam at the time.
Silly, at the time I thought the car might have come with headlights when they shipped it!
