Warranties aren't voided. Claims are denied because an aftermarket part was the reason for the failure. Unless your turbo was the cause for the tail light leaking they'll take care of it.
It's possible that they'll note your car as having aftermarket forced induction though, so any claims on the engine in the future could be denied. Unfortunately there are lot of people that commit warranty fraud so it wouldn't surprise me if that went into your record.

Dealership will say...
your driving so fast that the rain gets whipped inside the tails...I'm sorry your warranty is voided.

Could we interest you in an extended warranty? ...

Those dealers are also fully aware that warranty claims cannot be denied for modifications made to the vehicle that clearly have nothing to do with the issue at hand. They can try, but it only works on the stupid and uninformed, which you will NOT be when you get there.

As soon as they become aware that you know this, you shouldn't have too much of an issue. If they still refuse, go to another dealer AND call Scion HQ on the original dealer.

Why would they open the hood for a tail light problem? Just in case, refuse the complimentary inspection.

please tell me you didn't accept that answer.

No idea why you'd need to pop the hood to replace tail lights...
