As posted on a previous thread I have recently put in two new UK lights and found the new O/S one to have condensation within a day!. Well, I sorted this with the local Toyota dealer and replaced the unit today:)
Thing is, when testing my handywork on the O/S, I adjusted the 'level' switch and all was well the light adjusted fine, it was then I noticed the N/S one was making an odd noise so I felt the back by the motor and it was still going (lots longer than req to adjust light), well for a while and now it's packed up :confused:
I took the light out and put back the gammy old one just to test and all is OK. So, after less than a week two new headlights, one failed with condensation, the other the motor. What makes it really annoying is the local Toyota dealer said it could have been the way it was fitted? They wanted sixty odd quid an hour to check it out and even if the light was at fault I couldn't claim back the labour charge, they also said that the only way they would change it without them 'checking' it was for me to cough up for a new one and they would send back the faulty one and would only credit at a later date?
P*ssed off with this, I phoned Toyota customer relations dept. and the woman said that is rubbish, shouldn't have to pay bugger all, 'If the unit clearly has failed and doesn't work then it's a straight swap', tell them I said so :p
So, now waiting to hear from w**kers, sorry, dealer in the morning.
Anyone else had the level motor go?
