what will happen to my warranty??? canadian

cks0213 · 12-06-2009, 12:03 AM

Hi, I have a Canadian 2008 128i and I've done the halo to xenon conversion. The headlight itself is OEM, but there is a aftermarket ballast and bunch of wiring and also a wire that went into the ECU box for power (for Daeos Harness) I sometimes get a bulb out signal and i'm been noticing I get a lighting system failure (yellow bulb image). I'm going in for a service in like 2000KMs and I was wondering what the dealorship would say about it. I know it's illegal to void warranty in Canada.
I'm heard from my shop that they might not cover any electrical and headlight stuff under the warranty after.
If anyone has any idea, please let me know!
THANKS!`

The dealer will not warranty "anything" that has been modified.

that sounds pretty fair to me.
So in my case would it be the headlight system?
or would they even add that they won't cover any electrical issues?

i wouldnt expect them to void anything past the lights....but you never know

I assume if there's a probable or even possible link between what's been modified on your car and what the car may potentially need a claim filed on ...you run a high risk of denial for that claim.

They will find anyway out of having to do warranty work.
