I know he left a while back. My bulb blew and im wondering who took over his warranty agreement? Or if anyone did at all... before I drop $50 on a new bulb. Where is everyone going nowadays?

No warranty honoring has been claimed as far as I know. Most people buy them from various vendors now including HID Extra.

If all you need is a bulb then I would buy a pair off Ebay for $10-15 and have an extra bulb

Will buying a cheap bulb be bad? Or its the cheap ballasts I have to worry about. Just sceptical about ebay. 2 bulbs run $70 bucks on hidextra

i highly recommend having extra bulbs. Where you get them doesnt matter but what you dont want is to be somewhere and a bulb goes out and you have to order and wait for them to get shipped and delivered. Not cool.

yea Twiggy's warranty is not covered by anyone. He said his warranty covered everything until he quit selling. I looked, it didnt have that "quit selling" clause but he was a good guy with GREAT customer service so ill just leave that issue alone.

Bulbs are cheap, and like Weed said, its great to have an extra set. I actually only have one head and one fog bulb. Most of the bulbs are the same, I believe they are like the ballasts and have just a few manufactures making most and just relabeling them. Phillips or Osram are the companys with the best ones I think
