I'm very busy at work next few weeks and don't have time for this stupidity. You would think they would check their work at least.
I will call them tomorrow and let hem have it.
I'll get the bulb myself and if the connector is accessible and not hidden somewhere behind the bumper I'll fix it myself.

Is it 7440Nall. Bulb ?

They forgot to reinstall a perfectly good bulb? The mistake was staring them in the face. Unbelievable! Let them fix their mistake. Why spend more of your money and time fixing theirs?

It would be faster to drop by a store after work and install the bulb myself in minutes .
Dealer is 20 minutes away from home I get home at 7. They close at 6. Who has time to deal with this?

Well I'm happy to report everything worked out well. I bought the bulb and installed it in minutes.
I'm also glad to see that the new headlight is not visibly newer than the driver side . I was worried the lights would look weird but they don't.

So far my Lexus extended warranty paid $5000 for control arms.(complete front end ).
$1200+ for brake actuator
And $800 + on this headlight . I paid for labor.

They did not want to change the gummy trunk opener button until it breaks.

Looks great. Did you take this photo before installing the new turn bulb? I don't see the orange bulb on the right side.

I am debating whether to get extended warranty on my 2014 vehicle as it is nearing 50K. I have been reading other threads on this topic. Your experience suggests maybe I should. I am also worried about potential repairs for the air suspension discussed on another thread.

Yes the picture is before the bulb was installed. Also the lighting is bad, in reality the headlights look pretty even.

As for warranty. I paid $3000 for 3 year 36000 miles Lexus warrnty.
Within a month of ownership control arms were changed.
Year later was the brake actuator and now this headlight.
Also, passenger side lumbar was fixed .

When I was buying the car, I knew that I didn't want to spend any time in a shop, doing work myself, sourcing after market parts and so on. Any free time I have, I rather spend it with my family or playing with hobbies. So for me it was a no brainier.

I was wondering if this was a joke.
