Does Anyone Have SLIM Ballasts for Their HID's?

If so, to get an idea for myself, where did you mount them? Did you use double sided tabe or use zip ties or what? lol

All they gave me from DDM was zip ties. All I know is where I mounted my heavy regular sized ballasts. But now since these are lighter, I don't know where to put them.

I have them for my fogs. I used industrial strength Velcro from Home Depot. Stuff holds better than any 3m Double sided tape I've tried.

I fit mine on the "shelf" under the headlight bracket. use the 3m double sided tape with the red backing. That stuff is so strong the last time I removed my ballasts, I was pulling my entire car forward trying to pull up the ballasts. It creates an extremely strong metal to metal connection.

See they are so small and light I was thinking of just letting them loose.

But on the other hand, I would rather secure them somehow but I don't want to do any more drilling. lol
Velcro or 3M? Tommy is persuading me even though I do like the Velcro idea. Now I can't decide. lol

Definitely mount them under the headlight brackets. It's worth it, I had a set go bad letting them bounce around. I got the DDM slim ballast ones and mounted them under the bracket with 3M tape, havent moved since i put em there.

I have my full size zip tired to the top rad support.
I can swap them without pulling the headlight if needed.
