Temp of the ballast after a good 30 min of continuous operation. Very low heat generated - that alone is an excellent proof of quality.

Unlike previous hid ballast versions that used to run up to almost 90ºC (200ºF), or like Litronics(!), those can be hidden in the headlight's back compartment. Makes a perfect and clean headlight unit.
