Do your best to protect them. My DDM ballasts are still going fine, and they are from the cheap kit. The screws on the case rusted, but I don’t have a fender liner on one side, and the ballast got crusted in a mix of dirt/grit and salt. Washed it off, its fine. Put them out of the way, but as long as its not a shitty kit you don’t need to go too crazy with protecting them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hid-install/262014)._
