stacking ballasts for hid's

Post by rockcrawler31 »

hey all

do the ballast's on hid lights get hot? is there any reason they can't be mounted on top of eachother? i have limited space for my ballasts on the roof lights bar and it would help if i could mount one on top of another one.

thanks heaps for that mate

As the missus says - it's not the thickness thats the issue, it's the length :lol:

gotta try and fit 4 ballasts in the space between 4 lights - i.e. 3 spaces, so i'm going to have to put two ballasts on top of each other in the middle space
