Faded headlight dilemma - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Matmobl88 · 03-14-2012, 10:30 PM

Hey guys, my driver's side headlight is faded something fierce. I have tried to use different products but nothing seems to be working. I am thinking that maybe the damage might be on the inside. The other day my neighbor told me that my headlight is out! It isn't out, just faded. Anyway, do any of you know what to do? Or would you guys know where I can get a replacement lens for the RS headlights? And no, the warranty no longer exists. Thanks for the help because this is killing me!

And the headlight in the avatar is just one from the selection not my actual car...

3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty? How does it no longer exist? It hasn't been 3 years since the 2010s began production. Also, you can't buy just a lens. You'd have to buy a whole light.

3 years or so many miles I thought.... I have 50k on her.

Not sure how 3 year warranty has expired, you should still have a few days left on it since they didn't start production until March 16th 2009. Mine was manufactured in June '09 so I have just a little bit left on mine as I only have 7k miles.

Must be it, I believe it was 3year 30k ? 32k? something around there.

Matmobl88 · 03-14-2012, 10:52 PM

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I definitely don't want to have to buy a new one.

Ah yes, 3 years or 30,000 miles

It is 3 years 36000 miles basic. 5 years 100000 miles power train and 6 years 100000 miles for rust. There is also a 5 years 100000 road side assistance.
If the lens is cyrstal clear look for a bad ground connection.

That is upsetting. My wife's dad knows someone at one of the local chevy dealerships, perhaps he can somehow fudge somethings and hook my up, who knows...

Wow, guess this thread is proof of who has a valid warranty and who doesn't. LMAO
How many guesses before the correct answer.....3. BRILLIANT!!!

I bought the Extended 100,000 5 year Bumper to bumper

Saved my butt recently on my Monte Carlo

Matmobl88 · 03-14-2012, 11:19 PM

I bought my girl used so I wasn't really planning on getting much of a warranty as it was. Premed with a mortgage...gets you every time...

It's not free if that's what your asking about. It's an extended warranty you can purchase through the dealer.

TJ91 · 03-15-2012, 01:46 PM

just noticed this as well. my driver side looks hazed and I have an RS. Not sure how thats possible. Going to bring it to dealer.
I still have bumper to bumper left on the car
