I had the two light clusters changed, not the light bar. That said, I won't swear that it was "under warranty" or just by order of the Service Manager as a result of the appalling performance of his staff and the slating I gave them in my Google review!

So I have a critter in each rear light - these are being swapped out for new lights this morning under warranty. Apparently there are newer foam surrounds that should prevent the bugs from getting inside and these will be fitted as well.

Have a Papaya Gen 3 S as a loan car.

Very similar to my experience with my Gen2 S, except I had more than 1 critter on each side! Others seem to have met greater resistance to warranty replacement though and having had mine replaced it didn't take long for more small corpses to appear, they went with the car last year. I am, however, pleased to report (🙏 please God let me NOT be doing a "Murray Walker") that not a single intruder has appeared within my Gen3 rear lights in the 11 months and 13k miles I've had it. Sounds positive for the foam surrounds 👍.
