Default Installing HID's

Where did you guys mount the HID box when you installed them? I want it to look clean and don't know where I should put them. If you have pics please post them!!!

Default RE: Installing HID's

when i installed my HID's, i had my front bumper off bc i was swapping out bumpers with my GT, so i installed them on the main frame behind the bumper.. but otherwise, put one right on the wheel well right next to the cold air intake and screw that down.. and put the other one wedged in between the battery and the frame..

i know there is atutorial with pictures but idk where it is..

I took off my radiator cover and put them down on each side of the grill area.

I mounted the headlight ballasts in the engine compartment. One behind the battery and between the fender, the other under the CAI I have. I used some strong double sided tape (3M I think) to secure them.
The fog light ballasts I mounted where wisk did. There are some screws that stick out that work perfectly for it. The bolts that came with the HID kit fit on them as well, so it was perfect.

I mounted my right box on the electrical panel next to the CAI with 3M tape and zipties, I mounted the right box on the fuse panel behind the battery
