Ok, here is what I know since I just had this done. If your headlights are mechanically broken IE the motors do not cycle them up and down when they turn on, that is covered. The sensors that tell it where it should aim are not covered. This part I had to pay for it was like $505 with installation and tax out the door. To me this is BS also, my dealer is good to me and tried and I called Jaguar directly. They confirmed that if its mechanical yes, its covered, sensors, no. I think everything should be covered regardless because its the factory EXTENDED warranty so Im with you on that for sure. If you have any more questions ask me Ill do my best to help you!

Something that may make a difference is if these people that got their headlights fixed buy the dealer that they bought the car from because they were not working when they purchased the car. So the dealer did it to show good faith. I know from talking to the service manager at the dealer where I go that there hands are tied when It comes to Select Edition repairs. If it's not covered it's just not covered and that's that. They have no influence and they will never eat the cost themselves. Plus buying your car wholesale no dealer really has any loyalty to you. Good prices sometimes do not compare to building a good relationship with a dealer so they will work with you.
Good luck!

There are no mandatory fees. Go to another dealer and tell them that you know select covers hid lighting and you want it fixed. Then once it is fixed, go back to other dealer and get your money back.

Well I got hit with a fee of $105, and $120 diag charges. I went to another dealer today and they sated Select doesnt cover hid xenon headlights. If Select covers them help me out so they can cover them.

Strange that jagman121 registered yesterday (2/7/08) and he's starting to play the overplayed frombenz2jag 'hit' record we all love.

Well I am upset like frombenz and bigman we all have this same problem but Jaguar dealers are not covering the repairs under the select warranty. Some people has got fortunate to have there repairs done by Jaguar others like myself has had a terrible experience. How do you think I feel not being able to drive my car at night bc you can barely see anything on the road bc headlights are pointing so low to the ground. Im pissed off. The Jag dealer I bought my car from screwed me with false misrepresentations of there warranty. Now when I have a headlight problem they tell me its going to cost $2800 to fix and Select wont cover it. If this the why Jaguar operates then I wont be getting another Jag. I should have purchased the Audi I test drove last week then this Jag. The customer service has yet responded about my issue.

I agree - these threads are getting too long to read -maybe we should just boycott them until they go away?

Well. Unless you have tampered with the lamps, ie, put a different bulb in there, taken it apart etc. They are covered by select edition for the internals failing that way. Call other dealers in your area or other areas. You will get it covered. I would not go to that dealer anymore.
