Xenon bulb failing

I have a xenon bulb which has dimmed and gone a red ish colour, I presume this is the bulb starting to fail. Are these covered by Land Rover warranty?

If the bulb is lighting it will be the started failing. Bulb will not light if failed. Am sure the unit will be covered, the bulb won't be but is @ £70. The starter unit is nearer £400. Censored 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Thanks for the reply, It is going in next tuesday to have 'knocking suspension' sorted on it so I'm guessing they will do it with that. I hope they do replace the starter under warranty if its around £400 Shocked

Anti roll bar rubbers or bottom ball joint. Not uncommon. If they don't replace unit under warrentee they need drop kicked. I have a known working second hand unit if your stuck. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Im sure xenon bulbs are covered by the original 3yr warranty, but not extended warranty Mike
