Default 2021 Headlight issue.

I notice the halo or smiley face light on my passenger side isn’t functioning right now. I’ve read some other threads about headlights here, but i’m wonder if there’s a bulb that i can just replace?

the 2 square lights next to the halo work while locking/unlockking, and the headlight itself works for driving at night.

i call the dealer next week. Im
at 54k miles, so im nervous that i might be outside the warranty window, but maybe i’ll get lucky.

Has anyone else experienced this?

yes I have. The passenger side went out first and it was under warranty. Now the drivers side went out. The dealer quoted me 3k. I’m not paying that and I am going to call LR North America. This needs to be a recall. Hundreds of these Defenders have the same problem .

Welcome to the club. Plenty of details on the issue here (Headlight Failure Thread) on both how to tackle it with the dealer and how to repair yourself if you have the skills.
