yea im in the same boat as you, but i went to the second website and it says its a lifetime warranty but when you click on home link and then info, is says that ll item are only warratied in 1 year. so im kinda confused on that. also has anyone got HIDs from www.xenoneyes.com

I've been reading the reviews for xenoneyes and it seems simliar to retrosolution w/ digital ballasts, not that i am sure digital ballast is all that special anyway..

however, seems like retrosolution offer 1 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime defective warranty automatically w/o paying more!
workmanship warranty is damages that was caused by crash or uncareful handling or w/e...

Go on Ebay and search for HIDNY as a seller name he got good quality of ballast but the shipping is pricey lol I got one from him for my gf car and it work much better then the one I have in my accord now.
