Default CorvetteHID.com

Several years ago I upgraded the fog lights on my 1995 with a set of HID's from CorvetteHID.com. One of my HID modules has gone bad and I cannot connect with them at that domain. Does anyone know if they were bought out and how I might obtain a replacement HID module?
Thanks.

By module, do you mean ballast? If so, any HID ballast will work. Just make sure it is your ballast that's bad, and not the bulb.

Thanks for that info. Yes, it is the ballast that keeps blowing my fuses even with the bulb unplugged.

That's weird you mention the blowing of the fuses. On my other C4, I had the same HID kit as your's. It would blow the fuses also. My current ones have not, knock on wood.

I have had this HID kit since 2013 and it has worked great. Last week it blew the fuse. I isolated the problem to the ballast on the left side. Right side still works fine. Everything else unplugged including the left side bulb and the left ballast blows the fuse. Disconnect it and reconnect the right side and it works fine, so I am sure it is the left side ballast. A couple of years ago when the company was still in business, I had a problem with a ballast and they sent me a new one free of charge. Now they are, apparently, out of business so I am going to try another company ballast I found on the Internet. Hope it works or I am back to the OEM fog lights.

If you want the best aftermarket HID kit money can buy, get from theretrofitsource.com

You can just buy the ballast from them, or everything.
