So I just found out today that my ballast for my headlights is going out and have to be replaced the price is $1400. Lucky for me it is covered under warranty. The question is, I installed aftermarket bulbs. They are 35w, which is the factory watts for the bulbs, but I replaced the factory 3500k with a 10000k, WILL THIS VOID MY WARRENTY.

 

they could blame it on that

 

Should I switch out the bulbs out then.

 

why would you not when it is such a simple change? it isn't worth the risk leaving them in

 

It's speculative based on dealer, but just do the switch and leave the 10k bulbs out for good lol

 

Why are ballasts $1400, that's nuts.

 

factory bulbs are 4300k fyi, not 3500k. but to answer your question, the bulbs should not void the warranty

.......

$1400?!?

 

lol I do HID swaps daily and our MOST expensive ballast/harness/bulb combo is only $350

This dealer thinks you're a severe idiot. BTW, when you remove the 10k bulbs, touch the glass on them a lot and rub it on asphalt.

 

You really need to go back to the STEALERSHIP and ask them if you have STUPID written on your forehead. You could buy 3 sets of projector headlights for that kinda $ which include bulbs....$1400 is just nuckingfuts!

Yeah, going to the dealership was your first problem. Don't go there!

 

i know you said you have warranty but just incase something comes up or you just dont feel like going back to the stealership, i have a ballast for sale. PM me.

 

Tell the dealer I'll sell them mine for $400..

 

I bought a perfectly fine used OEM balast for $50 on ebay when one of mine went out in the past....
