Another youtuber's opinion! (YAWN)
Here's some fine print from the top of the line Nissan Gold Plan.
For those who bought the warranty to cover the $1400 headlights, kindly refer to
section 8.2 under WHAT IS NOT COVERED. Ouch.
Next time, read before you buy.
_

Nissan Owner’s Manual. Evidence of the performance of the required maintenance must be kept and presented as proof of such maintenance
in connection with related repairs covered by this VSC. FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH EVIDENCE, OR FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE
VEHICLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL, MAY DISQUALIFY YOU FROM COVERAGE.

When have headlights ever been covered under any extended warranty? Who said they were?
Doesn't matter, we now know they are not covered.

That IS a great thing to highlight, the other point seems to have been lost on you that there is such a thing as a $1400 light in the first place.

That's called a genetic fallacy.
There is another youtuber opinion video I could post that would help you, but you've made your mind up.

An open mind would allow for exceptions right?
Ex
My default position is leasing sucks, but still (should) have to allow for the exceptions. If not always a bad idea, I shouldn't say so

Because nobody ever made use of one? You seem to avoid admitting it.
I'll point out (again) that most Phoenix area dealers do not sell Nissan "branded" warranties anyway. They sell even bigger scams. Lol. It's why I said consider carefully. Plans vary, have exclusions, or cost too much. Some get rolled into the loan!
The bigger point is I'm not telling anyone they SHOULD buy, heck... most probably shouldn't. I'm pushing back on the never evers.

All the experts - including The Cuss, Consumers Reports, etc. - and all independent ASE mechanic shops heartily are against extended warranties on anything. "The House" always wins.
Mechanic with own ASE shop and radio show says these companies will fight against a transmission replacement because a power steering or windshield washer pump has failed, crap like that. If lucky, shop owner says a replacement part will arrive in a few days where he could've had the vehicle fixed "normally" in half a day.....
The Cuss says:
(1) don't purchase a $50K vehicle if you can't put away $200 per month into a separate contingency account.
(2) don't purchase a $50K vehicle.
Last fall we just picked up a 2014 Yukon for Mrs. Cusser to tow with, I found the vehicle we really wanted at an independent car lot. When doing the paperwork, owner said 90% of their customers financed, and 90% bought the extended warranty, we did neither. Yes, I noticed a leaking radiator before purchase that the place replaced, one can and should do do his own due diligence....

The HID bulbs in my Challenger were $140 each last I checked,🤦🏼♂️
I’ll go look again, hope they did not go higher, it’s almost never driven in the dark so I should be ok.

I can look them up on my own, but really not needed. I have no problems with buying extended warranties.
If I already spent $45,000 on a truck, I see no problem spending another $1200 to cover it for 7 years or 75000 miles. One repair, and its paid for itself more than likely.

Well, you already put $1200 towards it.
For the folks who can comprehend these things, a 7yr/75k-mile extended warranty for $1200 is really only 2yr/15k extension of the factory warranty for $1200, because it's active at the same time as your free 5yr/60k factory warranty.
For the expensive powertrain items, something must fail between 60K and 75K, or 60mo and 75mo, whichever comes first. Mileage and time starts when vehicle first placed in service, regardless of when current owner bought it, if used.
2yr / 15k / $1,200.
Plus you still pay full price for all of the excluded items.
If you think that's a good deal, buy it.
