HID Retrofits won't affect the manufacturer's warranty

Just don't expect a dealer to troubleshoot a bad ballast or ground for free for you, or replace a bad bulb.

You have nothing to hide by having an HID retrofit nor do you have to bring it up.

The only issue might be some lip from a Tech or service writer that does not have the most up to date information on current HID ballast technology, and tries to give you a ration of "these ballasts draw too much current and will burn up your wiring" crap. As long has you have the latest Chinese equipment, just shoot back that these puppies have a maximum inrush current of under 8 amps and are perfectly safe.
