S60RDUDE Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey guys figure I would throw this out on the forum but have any of you had and heat issues with the ballasts? I have one on the battery it stays pretty cool but the one mounted up front near radiator gets smoking hot. I took a temp with an infrared thermometer and it registered about 110F . So my question should I relocate and screw into the ECU box which is AC'd or leave it be? IT is not to the point of melting plastic obviously because the piece it is connected to never melts. By the way I love the kit and I hope you all do as well. Leurven does a fantastic job in handling any questions or problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Could just be heat from that engine area. Ballasts are supposed to remain relatively cool.BTW: HAWT car.. more pics please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronD81 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 110 is not hot, but if it makes you feel better move it. I would assume the cooler the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am just worried about the new HIDs thought they are under an awesome warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronD81 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Nothing wrong with moving it if it'll put you at ease. I just meant that in the summer when it's 100 outside under the hood gets even hotter and everything is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
