I have Denso ballasts and I figured I can place each inside the headlight.

Is it ok if I do that?

I know that if one of my ballast failed I have to reopen the headlight again, but I can live with that.

Of course I have to wire everything and test them if they are working properly before resealing. Any disadvantages by doing this?

Thanks.

 

oem cars are like this, mostly attached to the headlight housing. but the SC headlight is kinda oblong so i hope its the slim type.

 

Oh, it is for friend's Civic headlamp.

E46 and C-Class Benz cars has ballasts located under the headlight. I used to have Nissan ballasts and they warm up after a while, this just came up to my head, so probably a bad idea?

 

not a bad idea, it hides the ballast from view in the engine bay if u mount it on the headlight. a bunch of oem manufacturers put the ballast under the housings.

 

I am thinking about placing it under the headlight, sometimes water gets under there, how sensitive are Denso ballasts when it comes in contact with minimal moisture or water? The ballast's terminals ( red/black wires ) are open unlike the BMW's / MB's ( Hella ) terminals are sealed inside the headlight.

 

well anything electrical + water is no bueno lol. heat shrink and electrical tape the posi and neg and u should be good.

 

Yeah those ballasts sit in a separate little compartment in my LS430 headlights probably to protect them from heat and moisture.

 

My factory ballast are attached to the underside of my headlights, noticed that when I was installing my HID fogs, the ballast should be rubber injected to insure that the are waterproof/shockproof, the wires/connections should be sealed just as well

 

you mean like inside inside the headlight?
