Yeah, the ballast are made to last and withstand hot or cold but if its taking in water it can still fail.

This is true, I had HIDs in my Eclipse, and I constantly washed the engine bay, and never had an issue.. although every manufacture that makes ballasts have their own ways of making them, which makes them more or less likely to take on water by the way their designed.
