You decide what is best avenue for your purchase.
I had the exclusive for 6 mos on the system.
I also carry extra parts on the shelf.
Good luck with that from other vendors.
I replace parts with no questions asked in most cases.

IS YOUR KIT A VETTE-HID KIT?
Got my answer....Very minor cutting is required with all the ACA Vette kits on the market today.

Thanks,

Everett

i installed mine on friday, and had to grind both driver and passenger housings on my Y2K. apparently some cars only require grinding on the driver's side, but my car needed both.

it's NOT a big deal and it will never be anything that anyone can see.

as soon as i get around to it i am going to snap a few pics to show my installation and where i mounted the ballasts.

Can't wait to see the pics. Where did your kit come from?

i got mine from southerncarparts, he sent instructions that had lots of pics from his installation so it was easy for me. took me 2.5 hours for the install, with breakfast breaks in between.
