Default Do Slim Ballasts Have More Problems Than Regular Ballasts?

Hey all..

I have a 4300K HID kit on my Civic and it came with a regular ballasts. Its been working fine for almost a year with no problems. My brother just purchased a 4300K HID kit for his Integra but it came with a slim ballast. I dont know why as I dont see any reason with making the ballasts smaller.


But do they have more problems or anything?

so they can be tucked in a better tighter place. Its not always bigger is better. Sometimes smaller is better.
