Yes. Actually, Givi has been pretty generous with me... to a fault.
On my R1200R, a crack developed in the rack after repeated vibration from riding. They had updated the design and send me a new rack and a Monokey mount plate. They sent me a new trim piece for my V47 too.

However, I had purchased the rack for my Bonneville from a Non-U.S. vendor since the price with shipping was a deal at the time. The chrome on it was sub-par, and when I complained to Givi's U.S. division, they wouldn't help because I hadn't purchased from a U.S. dealer. Their Italian division pretty much ignored my attempts to get help.

As for their LED kits, I find lights mounted in the box to be a bit fiddly. I have mounted LED brake light strips to the rear of my Monokey plates on all three of my bikes. No wiring or fussiness in my boxes, and I have the auxiliary brake lights whether a box is mounted or not. Plus the E36 box is one of their older styles, and doesn't have the fake brake lights. It just looks like an old-school hard suitcase.
Here's the E36NA.
