Headlight Bulb Replacement
My 11 RT headlight bulb burned out and when I went to purchase another was told that BRP uses 2 wattages. The burned out bulb was a 60 watt and the dealer did not have any but had 2 65 watt bulbs. I was told that using two different wattages would cause a problem so I upgraded to 65 and it appears to be brighter. Just thought I would pass this along.

Interesting that they would not warranty a bulb less than a year old.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

I`m surprised that they have two different watt bulbs already ! As was stated by Blue Star, I would push my dealer for the bulb under warranty . I know this is a wear item but come on less than 6 months old and its shot obviously a defective bulb.

Read your warranty about bulbs. Not covered.

Bulb must be made by GE, as I know the license plate bulb is. Stunmun is right that the bulbs are not covered by warranty, but we are not talking about a bulb that is years old either. I am just saying that in my opinion. Dealer should give customer service, and replace bulb. Then go after the manufacturer of the bulb, as it is obvious a detective bulb. Either way, since original poster is not worried about it, it is just my opinion.

While I'd love to agree with you; if it's not covered; it's just not covered...
Bulbs are usually cheaper than a fight with the dealer anyway...
