I feel weird about running mine. It's basically a heating element with a fan around it. I feel like it's old and crumbly and going to start a fire. Anyone else feel the same way? I can reuse the circuit for rear fogs or an amplifier or something. Worth keeping?

I've used mine with no adverse effect. It's obviously not the most efficient design but it's better than nothing ifnyou cant see out back.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

Same thing crossed my mind when I first got the car and tried it out. The burnt smell that came out of it wasn't nice."If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough"

Mine works as designed. Use it about once a year. Just like any electrical heating element, it smells bad for the first few minutes of use after sitting for a while. No big deal, as long as the fan is running.1992 325i Cabrio
