Im buying an hid kit soon and would like to see some pics of good places to mount the ballast if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great THANKS

bump

 

I don't have HIDs yet, let alone pics, but from what I have read, the ballasts can be mounted under where the headlights go, with no problems. If that helps...

 

which headlights do you have? Stock, First gen halos? or 2nd gen CCFL halos

The first gen leaves you ith lots of room to simply stash them behind the lights, but the 2nd gen CCFL's you have to mount them down on the bottom of the headlight "pocket" then put the headlight in

 

im just using my stockers with a 6000k hid kit...i just sold my halos i didnt really need them anymore....would the kit fit under the stockers?

 

i mounted mine on top of the of the fuse box and one more over by my TD

 

yes i am pretty sure that the 2nd gen CCFL halos were made with the same sizing specs as the stockers....well, very close, either way i am almost positive you will be able to fit it undder the stockers as well

 

Im so jealous of you HID owners!

 

im making my own too out of the stockers. I am pretty sure from what i have read they will fit underneath them. What are you planning to do with yours?

 

lol i had the 1st gen halo proj with 8k HID in the lowbeams(H1) and then i bought the 2nd gen Halo proj, and they have H7 bulbs in lows and H1 in the HIGHs so i have HID highbeams lol what a waste of hids....... but they are SOOOO bright when i am on a dark road hahaha

 

didn't have hid lows though? thats a pretty strange setup from what you see normally

 

take the headlight out and along with the (brownish) mounting plate they sit on. just 3m tape it to the bottoms of it. they stay dry and are invisible. i have mine there,

 

Yea remove the black housing the headlight bolts into, theres like a 2inch void of bare chassis you can tape the ballasts too.
Easy spot to access, and its very close to the headlights themselves.

 

you simply pull out the black cover on the bottom of your headlights and drill a few holes on the bottom of the peaice of plastic and mount them there...down and out of the way...no one will ever see them

 

LOL thats because i USED to have the HIDs as my lowbeams in my OLD projectors but my NEW projectors will only fit the bul in the HIGH beam as the lowbeam only fits H7 and i have H1 bulbs

 

Im installing my 10000k hid kit today ill try and get some pics. Its raining out but ill see what I can do

 

I will be installing my 8000K kit this week in the 2nd gen projectors(ccfl). I already fooled around with my lights and the easiest thing to do is take off the headlight bracket & mount them under it then put the bracket back on. I'll take a few pics of the installation. Stay tuned. you could even use industrial strength velcro to mount them. I have some with strong adhesive on it. I almost feel like using that instead of making new holes.
