In 100-degree Texas heat, the ballasts didn't even survive a weekend.

Only the Weisslicht kit currently allows the drivers to be safely mounted inside the headlamp housing-- they're much smaller, support much lower current draw and are encased in a metal enclosure. I'm hoping the LUX H8 kit will be improved soon with an updated driver pack design that allows them to be mounted inside the headlamp housing once again.
This is incorrect, the current drivers allow all components to be placed within the headlamp for a stealth installation.

If you have any further questions on the kits, please feel free to contact me by phone or email directly.
