Default HID Conversion kit - ballast location

Got the HID conversion kit but not sure where to place the ballast.

Anyone have a pic showing what location worked well for them?

Thanks!

I don't think I could take a pic of where mine are located. There is a flat area on the inner fender under the headlight assembly. I used industrial velcro to attach them.

Bingo. Bolt them to the engine bay side of the wheel well.

I used this location as well for one set. Used stainless machine screws through the fender liner and nylock nuts.



But my fog's ballasts are stuck to the frame rail and secure with a long tie wrap....but no pic of this location
