The kit comes with 4 mTec metal boxes, the 2 larger and 2 smaller. The larger boxes are the drivers and the smaller boxes are the resisters. For the 2012,you don't need to plug the resisters to the driver. For 2009-2011, you'll need to plug the resisters to the drivers.

I Velcro the drivers down so they don't move at all (look closer on the photo, you'll see black Velcro). The drivers don't get hot. The massive heat sink of the LEDs do get hot, since these are high power CREE LEDs. The aluminum heat sink is designed to cool the LEDs down, nothing to worry about.
