well i think that it is still under warranty but i wanted to take it so i can get some silverstars put in because the stock light are too dim. I dont want to pay an arm and a leg just to get them changed

They will never replace good bulbs for free.  Why not just call a dealer to find out the labor cost for changing the bulbs that you will bring in ?

oh yeah, all the bulbs i got replaced had burned out..... thats why they were replaced under warranty. they could've replaced them with some silverstars but then when they (eventually) burned out they wouldn't have replaced them for free because silverstars aren't covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
hey calamity, what year is your 6 & how did you replace the bulbs??!?!?!?!?!? i would definetly prefer sticking some silverstars in there!!!

1) The bulbs are covered during the whole new car warranty period.
2) Do NOT put Silverstars in it!  They absolutely suck in this car.  Mine weren't as bright as stock and burned out after only 8 months!!! 
3) Replacement H1 bulbs are only $7-$8 bucks at any parts store and they are relatively easy to replace.

A good dealer will replace for free,maybe chuck a couple of quid to the guy that does it, it will only take them 2mins to do, they are a little bit of a pain to change but i managed ok,
