ChrisSheldon:
Afternoon people, my 2015 2.2 sport nav(facelift model)has got a Flickr and dim lit Led, contacted Mazda and they want just under £600 For a headlight unit ????????.
Now I have 3 options, buy a new unit from Mazda.
 Local electronic garage said they can fix it and would be £250.
Any one had there's fixed this way..????

Or has anyone replaced with aftermarket units

Can you not ask dealer to make goodwill warranty claim?

I did and they said they would only reduce price down by £50 due to last owner not keeping up Mazda service history.

It might be worth contacting Mazda HQ again as there are a lot of cases of LED DRL's flickering on the Mazdas247 website among our US colleagues. It is a known manufacturing defect and many have been replaced for free outside of warranty. I can't see how replacing the headlights for free or for a very significant discount can be affected by any services carried out by a non Mazda garage (presumably after the 3 year warranty period) especially if the garage used genuine Mazda parts and was VAT registered. An oil change and brake checks etc has got nothing to do with the lighting system, has it???? ??? ???

ChrisSheldon:
Thanks Jonno will contact them.
