Crack in my headlight under warranty? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have a small crack actually inside my headlight. The outside has no cracks and is completely smooth. Not exactly sure how it got there, is this possible to get replaced by dealer under warranty? Headlights are bonestock, never had HID's, baked/cracked opened, etc.

Why not try and report back with the answer? Example: I say "no, they won't fix it"...are you really going to not even try after hearing that?

Just be nice and ask as if you expect them not to rather than insisting they do. You can also go to another dealership and try again.

If it's inside and there is no sign of damage from outside, they might be able to replace it under warranty. However, if there is contact point with outer housing and finds slight impact, then the they'll turn on their back... Talk to them nicely.

As aforementioned, if there is no sign of impact on the exterior, it will likely be replaced under warranty for you. I've had success getting a fog light replaced this way.
