Bad situation and want to not get screwed again
So a few weeks ago my drivers headlight went out. I paid a lot to get the bulb and ballast replaced. After getting the work done and the light back on I was told there was a small crack in my headlight assembly. The dealer (harte nissan) told me this after they replaced the bulb and ballast. The light is on now but the crack is sill there. Whenever there is precipitation I have to tape my headlight now.
What am I supposed to do? I looked online and I can find a headlght assembly from go-parts.com for 427. Is this the real thing? I paid way too much for the bulb and the ballast then. I don't want to get screwed again. Thanks |

They said it wasn't visible from the top. It is a hairline crack on the side or below
I used blue painters tape to protect it (put it in the gap between the hood and light) Would a vinyl wrap protect from rain/snow? Where could I get this done? Last edited by kittens; 01-06-2014 at 03:30 PM. |

Wait, who messed up and why don't they just fix it themselves?

I hit a parking garage wall at like 3 mph in May (don't ask). I didn't know a crack was there until my light went out. Idk if that even caused the crack. The dealer didn't see it for some reason until after the work was done on the light.
I am liking the silicone idea but I would probably screw something up lol Would tinting the headlights provide protection? I called a tint shop and they said it was 5 mils think which seems to be thicker than the painters tape I have been using I like the smoked look anyway Lol thought a mil was a millimeter nvm Last edited by kittens; 01-06-2014 at 03:55 PM. |
