Philips won't fix my ballast. They say they don't make HID kits, and they won't support them.

Default Philips won't fix my ballast. They say they don't make HID kits, and they won't support them.

Despite the fact that I want to pay to have it fixed. That sucks...

Default They don't make HID kits....hmmmm

Is there no warranty card of sorts that came with the kit?

Default Can SPP sell you *one* ballast?

It might be cheaper to just buy a new one, rather than having Phillips fix the old one.

Default The ones that SPP sells is suppose to have a 5 year warranty on them.

Did you buy it from SPP? If so I would call them to see what they can do for you. How did your ballast die?

Default Ahh...so the "warranty" was from Xenonshop, and not the manufacturer--Philips.

I've been thinking about snagging a xenon kit, and I wasn't aware that the Philips doesn't provide a warranty with their kit. Guess I'd better buy from someplace that isn't closing up shop soon ;-)
