Hi guys

Im in the middle of clearing and blacking out my headlights and i was wondering if I can put the hid ballast in the oven with the headlight? I cant take it off because it the wire goes through the headlight assembly. i took all the bulbs out just left the ballast on the bottom. Can i do it like that or will the heat ruin the ballast?

 

take off everything if you're using the oven method.

 

no

 

yes

 

no

 

I figured out how to get the wire out. I just took a screw driver and pushed the piece around it right out. The paint is currently drying. I cant wait to get them on my car

 

post pics and get urself some 02-03 tails to compliment the theme you got goin...

 

when i did mine i didn't remove the ballast.

I did a poor job of re-sealing the headlights and water leaked into the ballast. As a result I actually put the ballast into the oven to remove the moisture in it. And no problem for me so far (touch wood).

 

well in the diy it said you can leave the ballast on.

 

Better to take the ballast out. Dont wanna risk an expensive part now.

 

i kept my ballast on in the oven and after i put everything back together my one ballast died on me, so i custom wired up two after market HID kits replacing the OEM ones.

take it off to be safe and do an extra good job sealing it back up

 

i would take off the ballast to be safe.. better safe den sorry lol
