are head lamp/indicater light bulbs covered under warranty?

[Chris.S]

bulbs fitted to the car from new are not covered under the manafactures warranty

If replacing the bulb was going to cost more than £33, you could take the car for an MOT and make a claim on the MOT insurance, but obviously only for bulbs that are checked during an MOT.

Chris, how about the instrument panel bulbs? The one in my ECT PWR/SNOW switch went and it cost me nearly £5 for a tiny christmas tree type bulb! Are the flourescent bulbs behind the optitron dials covered as I would imagine they cost a few quids and how about HID's?

I'm sure the MOT insurance has small print with a number of exclusions such as tyres? Maybe it mentions bulbs too.
