Posted August 8, 201114 yr my car is kinda jacked up to put HID's in.. my head lights are huge and have bolted on covers to access bulbs for changing.. but you must remove the entire light structure and there is a1 huge block plug for all the wires.. confusing i know. i was going to drill holes for my wires and mount my ballast outside and what not.. but i was talking to a guy on youtube and he said he mounted his ballets inside the headlight structure ... there is room.. but my thoughts were how hot do the ballast get? i have never touched them to find out.. i have the small ones,. made by Xentec
August 8, 201114 yr I think you would have to ask the company who makes them exactly what they are rated to run at. From my understanding different ballast can range from running at ambient temperatures all the way up to 165C.Did you get projectors or just a bulb/ballast setup?
August 8, 201114 yr If those are the cheap ebay hids dont mount them anywhere you cant get to easy.. I had a set when I was trying to be cheap and they only lasted a month, and they where not the K I ordered.. They where only bright the first week
September 23, 201113 yr When I installed mines I had them on for about 10 min & almost burned my skin after I had touched it for a few seconds

September 23, 201113 yr Cool. Moved from Atlanta. I like to see people who are interested in the same things I am & love to see others setups & installs. Every person is unique
