High voltage and low current draw.

It will probably mean the ballast will die quickly, not to mention if anything bad happens it won't damage the fuse but something upstream. I am not sure where you park, but it takes a while for the HID to warm up to full brightness.

It situations like the latest generation of LED especially COBs would be better.
