I put mine where this guy did - they're tucked out of the way.

Connect both zip ties in order to make them look like the LETTER T.

yeah i installed my hids to the point of zip tie them somewhere. Got lazy and ended up snugging it on top of the water fluid tank thing (passenger side) and for the drivers side stuck it somewhere. Knowing that its bad i will take your guys advice and mounting them properly.

if you used the double sided tape for the wiper fluid tank, thats not a prob. i had it there for over a year, still sticking to this day.
