Default Aftermarket HID and Warranteeee

I was wondering if anyone has any updates on aftermarket HID's and Warranty..
I read before that if you put Aftermarket HID's your warranty will be void...
Anyone know the details? I guess it depends on the dealer also...
Anyone in South Florida know a Mod friendly service department?

you will void that part of the warranty. so if you put on hid kits and later on your wiring harness or the headlight switch broke, they can deny the claim

but if your engine blows, they have to fix it

Perfectly said. ^_^

I've heard stories of Toyota dealers denying warranty for things like this though... (HIDs somehow voided the suspension creek noise lol). Some dealers may say the whole electrical system warranty is void while others may consider it just the lights. Just make sure all your aftermarket wiring is properly installed (the plastic 'cover' around it, taped properly, not too long and hanging out all over the place, etc)

yeah i know the whole Magnus-Moss Warranty act and things of that nature.. it's just that some places are mod friendly and some are not... just wondering if anyone had a hard time with aftermarket HID's that's all

correct, there is a law so i can care less what the dealership tells me. but a mod friendly dealership is always better -- imho that means they understand cars more as well (that hid actually won't hurt the suspension...)
