My '14 RT-S blew a headlamp at Americade. Before I pull it apart and replace both bulbs, I'd like to know if any of you have had any success with getting the dealer to replace the lamps under warranty.

If not, I'd like to hear your real world experience with the options we now have like LEDs, HID, and Xeon. I don't want to modify the socket, melt a housing, or melt connectors or wiring.

Both my riding buddy and I had a stock bulb fail at three years. Has anyone done better with one of the alternatives? Please refrain from trumpeting your selection as "the best" unless it has been demonstrated to provide more light for as long or longer than the stock lamps without damaging the electrical system. Thanks in advance.
