 That's probably why the ballast is insulated in
     ceramic (low heat coefficient), as opposed to just
     electrically insulating it, which would be much
     cheaper. 

**** Ballast resistors are wound on ceramic cores because they get hot, and
ceramic can take the guff.   The resistance-wire-in-the-harness trick just
saves having to mount the resistor as a separate part on the firewall, and
having to connect to it.
