With reference to our current headlamp saga, it would appear that the same thing has happened to several others with Hymers. If your left hand headlamp shattered following what can only be descriped as an explosion, could you help out by posting if you were successful in securing a free replacement or if you were refused.
Sorry, got a bee in my bonnet!
Thanks

Ok added age of vehicle, meant if over 3years, even if by 6weeks!

Guys, i recently challenged Hymer over my headlight and they gave in. It is to be fair my third in a row and I sent in all three chassis numbers. Also I argued that the headlight had exploded when we were not even moving.
I have an email for customer services in Germany
team3@hymer.com and mark it for attention of Karina Roos.
In our case this was the last straw, we pick up a new Pilote next week.

Thank you, we too were parked up. Hadn't had the engine on for about 30minutes, will be firing an email to Karina now. It has put me off too

if anyone has any numbers off their headlamps, and/or any part numbers referring to themm, would you like to pm them to me. I'll then use my Hella and other contacts to see how elusive, and maybe how expensive these really are. All and any numbers could be of use.

thanks for the numbers - 1LL247 360-11 - identifies it as a Hella part number. I've just been in touch with Hella and they make these under licence to o.e. Hymer and are not permitted to distribute them.

Don't suppose there's any way you could find out what the unit cost is that Hella are charging Hymer could you? Be interesting to hear how much Hymer & their distributors are profiting out of this little debacle.
