Looking forward to paying $3K to replace these when the car goes out of warranty!

I've had both headlamps replaced on October 2019 with part number LH 1053570-00-D and RH 1053571-00-D. By April 2020 I had the RH side replaced with part number 1053571-00-F. At the time the tech mentioned that the driver side was more yellow than the passenger side (couldn't really tell at the time, the RH side was really yellow when I submitted the request). He mentioned I should put in a req to get it replaced. I haven't bothered side I know 1) it will just happen again and 2) may as well wait until my warranty is about to expire and replace it then in hopes of getting the most recent version. I haven't really looked as I haven't been driving much at night to really notice but I will try to take a look to see just how yellow both are.
I have a 2017 that is also out of warranty. My passenger side is bad and the want a ton of money for it. This car is way to amazing to have such a problem. I can’t believe Tesla isn’t supporting its customers.One of my DRLs went out recently and I’m concerned that even if I pay $1500 to replace, the new one will be brighter than the older...and replacing both of them for $3000 is more than anyone should have to spend on a car less than 5 years old with fewer than 50,000 miles. Since this is a defect rather than normal wear and tear, Tesla should offer a warranty extension...or at least a software update giving Model S owners the option of turning their DRLs off, besides just Range Mode.
The problem is that they can't just replace the led strip, which would be a $20 of parts, but have to replace the entire light assembly. With how many of these are broken, you think they can charge much less to refurbish them instead.I have a 2017 that is also out of warranty.

They'll happily support you by selling you a new headlight. This is what happens to cars out of warranty. Things break, but you pay for them.I have a 2017 that is also out of warranty.

I can see both sides of this. Once the 4 year new car warranty is over, you should know you're on your own to fix anything that breaks.They'll happily support you by selling you a new headlight. This is what happens to cars out of warranty. Things break, but you pay for them.
