Default Lost a HID tonight

Chances are good that you will get it fixed under warranty. Just bring the bill from the time the dealer worked on your housing for proof, if you need some.

I just noticed that you're in Atlanta, what dealer are you using? I live in Cartersville, GA myself (In Macon at Mercer University right now).

Hey Doc,
FWIW, if it looks like you're going to have to spend money, someone is selling a set of HID bulbs in the GS Classifieds for less than what you were quoted. Here's the link;

I'm glad you mentioned getting your lecense. Don't go to Cartersville to get it, the wait is always horrible. It may be too far for you to go, but when I needed to get my lecense renewed I went up to Calhoun. It's the same exit as the outlet malls so if you do go all that way you can just go shopping too, if you like that sort of thing. Another one I know of is in Forsyth. It's either exit 185 or 186 off I-75. No wait there. May be worth the drive.
