I love these kits and eventually want to get a set, however my biggest concern is the manufacturers's warranty as I thought the patent issue is still unresolved with the original designer, thus no real company to complain to.
I know Corvette Garage also sells the chrome kits so perhaps they can offer a replacement part. Or at least know how to obtain one.

well i believe the warranty its only for one year and i had the kit over one year.i bought a a ballast already off of the auction site at a good price so no big deal.i just hope the ballast is the same,mine reads xdl 145 and the one i bought is xdl 144 but they look the same and have the same specs,i'll let you know guys know once i replace it ,that way you all know for future reference.
