What is this??
Wondering what this grey box thing is. Does it need air flowing to it? I noticed it had fins but not sure if its functional or something. Trying to put an oil cooler and wondering if I need to relocate it to somewhere that grabs air
Thanks! |

Looks like a heat-sink. Not quite sure what it's doing. I'd just say keep it somewhere where it will stay the same(ish) temperature as it would where it's currently at.

Follow the wires and see what it plugs into. I would guess it is something like a balast resisitor for the headlights. Maybe.

It looks like a power resistor. As long as the fins aren't covered up you should be fine.

99% sure that it is the resistor for the DRL circuit. No need to mess with it.
