Yeah, same here. Will wait until nearer the end of the warranty period or when I upgrade the headlamps. Will do the same with some hinge bolts that are also showing signs of rusting.

Just had mine done on warranty.
They replaced the covers (which were disintegrating) but I suspect the lights are corroding underneath. I'll get them done again when the warranty expires or change the lights. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
