It "technically" won't void your warranty if it's an OEM part. However, if you replace the headlights with aftermarket ones, and you experience electrical problems, ford may very well blame it on your headlights or the workmanship of the headlights. Does that make sense?

lights


no they cant void your warrnty for that, they can void your warranty for hardly anything....and as GF told me, they can only void your warrnyty if they come to the conclsuion that the part you part on was the cause of the problem

actually they can void is warranty for that. if you read the ford policy i beleive the car must be in its original factory stay to retain the warranty.... you want a solid answer call the ford dealership.

warrant


it wont void your warranty trust me, thats why you can buy exhaust, intake,, etc etc. as long as the part didnt cause the malfunction, you might not be able to do major engine mods, but visual and exhaust and junk you can do, as weel as a supercharger

they cant void ur warranty bc u mod ur car, but they can void it if when it has problems, ford thinks that it was bc of ur mod, and most likely they will find a way to do that

It is illegal to void a warranty for any car modification, but if they can prove your modification caused the failure then your screwed headlights won't be a problem

hmm. that's kinda confusing but i think i get the idea. so basically if they cannot prove that my aftermarket headlights caused the problem they cannot void the warranty? i mean i understand if they void electrical problems but if they blame something that has nothing to do with the headlights then that is bs.

some say they can't, make sure they have a service center no just a repair shop for the dealership cars, if it is a full repair center they can do anything
