The difference is that the main stream ones are designed for a quick defrost on a driveway so they cannot be left on and therefore timed. The one I am using is to stop the screen misting up so runs as a constant. It uses two elements, one per side so you run two individual looms, this allows less current.
The factory one is wired in 2 halves as on my rally car and we can't have them on all the time mate.
