    Default Changing tail lights = voided warranty?

    Hey guys

    im just unsure on wether changing my exec tail lights to more up market (calais, etc) will void my 3 month used car warranty at the holden dealer?..

    could someone please clear up this confusion for me? ...

    thanks

    just don't change them, is my advice.

    But no, a simple thing like that should'nt void the warranty. The best place to check on a thing like that is with Holden.

    each dealer is different, best thing would be to contact you dealer and ask them, they may even turn around and say, "buy them through us and we'll cover them"

    but at the same time, most dealer warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    It won't void your overall car warranty however if your boot starts leaking then that part could be affected.

    alright, thanks guys,

    booked in to be looked at at my local Holden tomorrow, though im thinking Naf33n has a valid point as they are genuine and have a warranty themselves.

    thanks

    Why don't you just wait till your 3 months is over? It really isn't that long...

    Did you buy them from Holden, or 2nd hand from somewhere else tho?

    If there new from holden and they're fitting them, there wont be a problem.

    You wont have any issue, but keep in mind the calais tailights dont have reflectors on the actual light. The reflector is located on a black strip located at the base of the rear bar.

    bout to mention that Paul, coz without the reflectors your car isnt road worthy so warranty is the least of your worries
