Hey guys, at this time most of you guys on this forum have heard about CK's HID group buy and im thinking of buying a set for myself. Most likely i will get a set but i want to know those with HID, where did you guys mount your ballasts? Can some one post a picture of where your ballasts were mounted and where is the most convienence place for them? Thanks a lot

very hard POS spot to get to....

but there is a threaded hole in the body in the cavity under the headlights that the bolt in the kit will screw right into...

I have 2 ballasts hanging off of each of those bolts and been fine so far, but they're not easy to get tight as the angles are a bit odd (had to put some washers in there)

Definately the most time consuming part, but if I did it again I'd remove the headlight assemblies so I could get down there easier...

I come from a land down under
I wrapped mine in foam pipe lagging and some split convoluted tubing and then put them up in the Nose of the Fenders with zip ties.

There's a shelf formed by the internal reinforcing brace that's a perfect place for them :)
