What do you guys think of a ballast fully functioning under a tank of water? I remember seeing a picture of one, but I can't find it, I'll post a pic of it later, any opinions? FREAKING CRAZY wow

 

:j/k:

 

Shit, when i see it i'll believe it.

 

haha, that's what i said baka

 

damn.... PM me for more pics, lol

 

probly distilled water

 

the water is a chop

 

they would be nice for deep sea diving..but why bother for a car..the ballasts never get that wet..(i wrapped mine in plastic..just as good)

 

meh, i guess its just a test for its real waterproof ballasts, pretty damn nice if you ask me

 

you dont need anything like that on your car. they would cost alot more if thsoe are real.

 

I really need to wrap them in plastic? What did you use saran wrap?! One of mine is always getting wet because you can tell by the sticker on it. Also my intake is touching the balast (the filter) is that ok?

 

saran wrap will work..i used a peice of a black plastic garbage bag and electrical taped it secure..its really your preferance on what kind of waterproof plastic you wish to use just make sure the whole thing(ballast)is covered.
If your intake filter(cai or sri?) is touching it is there any way to move the ballast to a better spot?

 

Here's a pic... (dont mind the red circle) I use to have CAI when my friend installed it.

 

A ballast has an oil inside it that keeps it cool. The case is sealed and should not allow the oil to escape or the water to get in. As for it working under water, many parts of a car, believe it or not, will still work under water. Just plain old electrical engieneering will tell you that. And I would imagine that some diving rigs do use a similar product for underwater ilumination.

By the way, that is pretty cool. If you crash into a river, they might find your car faster if the fuse pannel doesn't short out.

 

 

i saw those on ebay not too long ago and i was thinking of putting them on my jeep (since i go mudding alot) but the bulb itself isnt waterproff so im not sure now
