Comprehensive claims generally don't increase premiums, unless they are high dollar, or frequentYour insurance will have a deductible so you're still paying out of pocket for the first bit, not to mention they'll probably raise your rates due to "high risk of goose collision" or whatever excuse you fed to them.
Fraud never pays!
This isn’t just replacing a 50,100 or even a 200.00 led. This is the entire housing for 2k since the led strip is integrated into it. While i understand not covering lenses, they get scratched, and bulbs as they burn out and can be replaceD. This is the entire housing since the internal led is non serviceable. I think i was said earlier, the warrantee has not kept up with technology. This isn’t your standard light housing any more when they integrate electronics into them and charge you 2k to replace.I feel your pain but no extended/drive train car warranty that I'm aware of extends to wear items like headlights (bumper to bumper should include it though). LED bulbs do wear out as well, I've replaced a bunch in my home already too. Nature of the beast.
This was one of the reasons I avoided purchasing LED's and got the old skool halogens, but they have issues too (poor output).

Then I recommend that you don't do that.

maybe a ground issue? seeing how all do it, i would def lean towards something external.*2/21 UPDATE* - so I've ordered 2x replacement units since my last visit to the dealer and both of them duplicate the same issue I'm experiencing. Granted, both were pre-owned units but guaranteed to work (one was even Mopar refurbished) but including my stock headlamp assembly, that's 3 out of 3 that replicate the issue. The first one I've returned. The second one I will hold onto until further diagnosis.
My deductive reasoning is now pointing me towards a potential electrical/power supply issue within the truck. At first I thought maybe it could be the battery, since it has been ~3 years, but that wouldn't explain why it only occurs on the driver's side. I've also checked the voltage and it is operating within normal parameters (12.4v while at rest, ~14v during operation).
Back to the dealer I go - have another service appointment scheduled for tomorrow.
I thought about this, too and am otherwise fairly handy but electrical work I hesitate to diagnose/work on my own.maybe a ground issue? seeing how all do it, i would def lean towards something external.
This thought also crossed my mind, but tbh, removing the headlamp assembly is a huge PITA - the front fender trim piece, factory fender “flares”, part of the wheel well liner and effectively the entire grille have to be removed and quite frankly, I really didn’t feel like doing that on both sides. I was able to successfully remove everything for the driver’s side but with my luck, something would’ve broke on the passenger side.I haven’t looked at the plugs, but are the right and left interchangable plug wise? Ie can you plug the bad one into the plug on the other side? Probably not necessary, but it would prove the one you think is bad really isn’t and it’s something electrical.
