Wheres the best place to mount the ballasts for HIDs?

Somewhere in the front bumper apparently, I didn't know this so mine are on the fuse box and inside the o/s arch, lol.

Also used a bit of silicone sealant round the rubber grommit on the headlight cover to keep it nice & water tight.

beat me too it! lol

same place i mounted the ballasts on mine. did you notice that everything was perfect length? i.e no spare left in any cables? so it looked nice and tidy, would be a pain in the arse if your car is any bigger tho!
