Are you saying your new D1S HID Lamp didn't light up at all?
Next thing to check/swap is the ballast.
Here's an upside down pic. It's the silver box in the center on the underside of headlight assembly.

instructions in above seem like alot of work to switch ballast in order to test if problem goes with the ballast, but sure would be worth the price if switching doesnt prove bad ballast.
i never tried this place for parts...

early 05 corvette low beam module replacement
Just replaced low beam module (ballast) on an early 2005 corvette, had to take front wheel off, pop out the front fender well pull down the air dam then you can get at the module pretty simple. 05 had a bad design as the module sits in a tray that filled with water when the rubber cups came off of the rear of the bulbs and water went in through those openings and fried the module early 2005 corvettes use the same ballast as 2003 to 2006 lincoln navagator just take the old one out to make sure and you will see it has only three bolts instead of the four bolts then google xenaelectron 35 xt-D1/12V and you will see Hope this helps some early 05 owners
