Im another new truck buyer with no healight switch bulb worky problem. My g/f 96 ranger's worked with 160k miles on it, I just figured mine didnt have one... My dash has been out of my truck soooo many times and I just really dont care if it works or not...
|
I had mine replaced at 10000, it is always on. The dealer just replaced the switch.
of course they broke my car alarm and it took them 300$ to get it fixed but thats another story. |
So are ya'll saying that you can buy replacement bulbs for these??? Headlight switch and fog switch???
|
Damn I knew that thing had to light up...and my warranty ran out two weeks ago.

I successfully argued for warranty coverage after my warranty had run out (my heater box crapped out in the summer, but I didn't know about it until it got cold outside and I had to start using the heat). It worked out that they charged me for the heater box ($140) and the dealer absorbed the cost of the labor ($500 to remove the dash). So in your case, the price of the bulb is quite inconsequential. It's the cost to disassemble the dashboard to get at the bulb that will be a significant amount. You might be able to work something out with your dealer. Tell them that the bulb has never worked, and as a result, you didn't even know that the switch was supposed to illuminate, and you just found out about it 2 weeks after your warranty ran out. I think that they would be flexible. |

I bought two of them at the dealer (6 bux each) before doing the led mod. |
Mine lasted about 6 months or so. I just didn't care. I still don't honestly. I don't know why but I never do good at subtle changes.
