Should We Be Taking Nuclear Threats More...

When changing a bulb recently (o/s) I released the spring clip and the whole bulb mount fell away, it had melted. This meant I had to replace the entire headlight assembly as it was irripairable.
Same thing has now happened to the n/s light - an expensive if exercise when all it needed was a bulb!
Anyone else had the same prob?

They are trying to wriggle out by saying I invalidated my warranty by changing the bulb myself but they wanted 25 quid to do this! (on reflection it would have been a lot cheaper)
These were the original bulbs as supplied with the car so one assumes they were ok - the replacements have been checked against the handbook and are ok.
Have just had the same problem with a 53 plate Almera but on both sides. All bulbs and holders were original fittings.
The offside bulb holder fell apart while driving and the nearside holder disintrigrated while releasing the spring clip.
The dealer however changed both headlights and all the bulbs under warranty. They did have to check with Nissan but the whole job took less than a day. Great service I think.
It may still be worth persuing your warranty claim as it appears that your problem is not a one off.

Try an eBay search I got both headlights this way. It cost me �96 for both + �25 to fit them from a local independent garage.
My dealer stopped answering my calls after I had a bit of a face-to-face with the service manager who just point-blank refused to do anything about it saying I had "interfered" with the headlight fittings - total cr*p.
Good luck.
