Headlight Question

I had a headlight go out. I didn't change it for a couple of days, because I went out of town. I got home today and changed it and the gases from the bulb ruined the inside of the housing. The front lens is fogged over and the silver is turning a blackish color. Will GM warranty cover this?? I have only owned my car for 2 1/2 months now.

Yeah but the bulbs arent supposed to ruin the inside of the housing. What if it goes out and u dont drive at night for a few days. That shouldnt mess anything up.

Yea, they go we will cover it if you have the bulb. Who the hell keeps a bulb that is broken in pieces. my bad for throwing it in the trash. So, now I gotta buy a housing for the drivers side. F*ck GM Warranty.

I will just break the other bulb and put it in a baggy and go to the dealer. I talked to them over the phone about it that is what they told me.

Thread after thread the same basic issue is turning up. The cars are great but "service" from the Stealerships are ruining the reputation and making us regret our purchases.

Trust me I sit and ponder why I bought a car new with warranty. But, I guess if you go anywhere and buy a car you get the same deal. They just want to sell cars not fix them! There's no money in fixing cars, but heck the dealership should make money on doing warranty repairs doesn't GM pay them for warranty work??
