Where is the Ballast Installed?
1 Answers
The ballast is installed beneath the bumper and headlight assembly. When the vehicle is moving forward, the incoming airflow through the grille helps cool the ballast, thereby reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion. Additionally, the ballast should not be installed too far away to prevent interference from other electrical devices that might affect its normal operation. The ballast is an essential component in HID lighting systems, also known as an electronic ballast. Its function is to instantly boost the vehicle's 12V voltage to 23,000V, using this high voltage to activate the xenon bulb, creating intense light between the electrodes and enabling the bulb to achieve high-brightness illumination.
