best place to put ballast and wires?

[dpanda88]

For all you HID retrofitted people or just plain old HID users.. where is a good place to put the ballast so it won't be on risk of fire hazardous. I was hoping it can go underneath the headlight itself but no space and for sure our Gen 4's dont have a lot of space given to put extra stuff like this...but anyways any ideas or advice?

Put it somewhere cool (cold meaning).

i put my driver side one in front of the relay box behind the corner light and the passenger one in the same spot tucked behind the washer fluid stem

that was exactly where I place my old ones. I place the passenger side at the little corner to the corner light hidden. Then my driver side I place it between the air take and behind the battery. Think those are good place to hide them? Then again the battery... I really cant think of anywhere else there

even putting those I was told from technicians I was in the fire hazard and should remove them which I had to.

Remove both headlights, and mount the ballasts UNDER the headlights. The passenger side (on a gen3) already has holes you can bolt it into. The driver side simply requires you to drill a small hole.


Dry/Safe/Cool. Not to mention, virtually stealth, you can't even see them!

It will take only 30-60 minutes, with re-assembly time.

I can post pics if you want.

Yes. Pics would be helpful.

any interference with putting the headlight back in touching the ballast
