Where did you guys mount the HID ballast when you did the HID conversion? I just got my Vision Bulbs kit, and im not sure where to mount the ballast.
Thanks!
No one knows? I need to get it done, im in the middle of it, and work later. Can anyone point me in the right diriction?

I mounted my driver side one under the headlight in the small amount of space that is there, and screwed down the bracket with one screw in to the bumper support. Then the passenger side is just inside the engine bay, because it was easier, lol. I will get you pics if you need them tomorrow, but sinse you will already be working on it then, just pm me if you have a question.

here i'll show ya mine, mounted em to the fram under the headlight brackets. great place, well hidden. I like my set up because all you see is the relay and ground wire, but barely. Looks very clean and stock.
and here is a pic of the 9007 connector that I cleaned up to look better and perform better.

I mounted mine under the grill, 3M taped them upside-down and then screwed them in, they get the best air flow there and it looks really clean. under the light the might over heat and cause it not wear faster then normal. I'm trying to upload some pics right now
I took out the grill to mount them, but if I were to do it again I wouldn't. I didn't really need to but since it was my first time I didn't know. They get good air flow to stay cool, and they don't get that wet either! looks really clean IMO. sorry the pics suck it was taken with a camera phone in a garage

I know its a little off topic, but did anyone have problems putting HIDs in the fogs? I have an 07 and i'm using the right bulbs but it feels like the projector housing isn't long enough for the HID bulb. any help/ ideas?
