I've installed 3 different aftermarket kits and didn't put any effort into safety before. You're starting to scare me.

I didnt think it was the bulb you were worried about.

those HID ballasts store ALOT of energy; more than enough to seriously injure you or kill you; and even when unplugged they can hold alot. like a TV, they have capacitors and **** I guess. to my knowledge only 2 things on the car that can hurt you electronicly is the HID ballasts and ignition coil. they amp up the volts or something; the rest at 12volts cant do crap to you.

I do beg to differ, an exploding xenon bulb has MORE THAN ENOUGH potential and power to kill a person!

I've been standing beside a spot that blew, sounded like 20 guage shot. Is this what we're talking about?
