Granted it was about 2pm on the friday but, im not exactly to thrilled with there service. Mind you, everytime i call them, its like all they wanna do is get off the phone.

Ill give them the benefit of the doubt though. If you say they look after you, ill be nice..

just have to wait till i get some kind of answer from them i guess. I called them again today, he mentioned that they are recalling them..

might have been me hoping he would say it haha

see how Monday goes

I've been going there on and off for nearly 20 yrs.and they have always been very helpfull whenever i've had any warranty issues and fixed them straight away 1st.time.Talk to either Michael or Robert(service manager) in service.don't worry about talking to the spares guys,they can't do anything it's service that will make things happen.Remember firm but polite.Good luck.

GUESS WHAT!!

My brand new headlights (BOTH of them) now have moisture in them again!! this is only a few weeks after having them replaced. I park my car outside and the recent rainy weather in Melbourne has gotten their way inside again....

I feel so embarrassed about going to the dealer again. Hope they dry out.... maybe try a different dealer if they don't dry.

I think any dealer should do it (well... 3 in Melbourne offered to do it) as long as you are not in the recall range for the clips.

Can't remember where I read it but I think somebody said they bought the plastic dust covers from a dealership for $25 each. Can somebody confirm which dealership this was?

Hi. It was me who said they cost $25 each. I didn't buy them but was quoted this price by Courtney and Patterson in Melbourne.

If it has clips on it and it still get moisture in it, then it may be eligible to get it replaced. Worth a try.
