Where to put HID ballasts?

I recently tried putting it upside down underneath the headlight bracket with velcro but it fell down

Where are you guys mounting your ballasts to? and how?

Under the headlight bracket. My kit came with a screwed in mounting bracket. You could tap some holes in there and run large zip ties to secure them.

I just put my headlights in and tucked them behind the housing with all the other wires and b.s. easy install, easy removal, looks decent, and doesn't cause problems.

Double sided 3m ftw

Make sure it's spotless clean before you put it down I had one fall off when I used a cheap double sided foam pad and got it just a little dirty... 3m fixed up great the other side I'm yet to have problem as I thoroughly cleaned it.
