Default HID Replacement bulbs?????

I ordered a set of HID about 1yr 1/2 ago from Tophidkits.com and at the time after I bought them I find out that these headlights on 94 Camaros are concealed light so they just sat in my room (because the company wouldn't give me my money back) till I found out how to modify my headlamps to fit HIDs. So beginning of this summer I installed the hids so they are still brand new. I bought the lifetime warranty for the bulbs from the company but I went to their website and I also called but nothing came up for the website and when I called all I got was a beeping noise. Well, last night one of my bulbs went out and I do not know if it’s the ballast or the actual HID, so I am going to try and switch out the ballast and see if that is it. But I have a good feeling it may be the light. So my question is where would the best place to just get another pair of 10k HID lights? I was thinking this place but it seems too cheap for replacement HID lights. I do not want to spend a butt load on the lights because I have already spent enough on these lights.
If someone has a good place where to get replacement HID bulbs I would appreciate it.

If I'm thinking right, a decent amount of people have bought the whole kit from VVME. I got mine from somewhere else though and one of my bulbs went out as well so I swapped back to factory style halogen bulbs but from where I got mine, it's like $10 difference between the replacement bulbs and the kit it's self so I myself may just order me a whole new kit. I really doubt this helps considering I don't know what you paid for yours to compare to VVME.

well i paid 68 with lifetime warranty but the da** company stole my money. i guess they went out of business maybe? but your saying that is a good place to get HID bulbs. I just quoted a price and for the lights it was $39 just for the replacement. shipping was $12 which is high for shipping

I bought a kit from DDM tuning for my wife's car for about $40, seems to be pretty solid. Had a headlight bulb go out, picked up a new set on ebay for $15

The reason I can't say prices is because there not a sponsor on here. No sponsor, no pricing and I'm just trying to keep the moderators happy and not cause a big fuss.

since when are upgrading headlights for better visibility at night "about the look"? plus they put out less light (lumens) than a non-ricer frequency, such as 5k. those frequency of HIDs are annoying as hell.
