where is the best spot to mount them?

shouild i drill holes and screw them in or could i just use a couple zip ties? i know but i hate drilling into my car lol

and BIGGIE .. if a do drill into the metal.. wont it rust?

 

Get some 3M automotive tape..the stuff doesnt let go

 

I drilled all of my holes. I don't want the ballasts moving or shifting around, that might shorten their life.

The 3M tape might work, but I don't know about the moisture/heat present in the engine compartment affecting the longevity of the tape.

I found there is plenty of room in the headlight buckets to mount the ballasts, so I recommend placing them there. They get plenty of airflow to keep them cool and minimal exposure to rain water.

 

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "headlight buckets"?

I have factory HIDs, but I just got HID fogs as well - and my ballasts are just dangling/resting in medium sized nooks in the engine bay. Do you suppose I'd be able to mount my fog ballasts where your driving light ballasts are?

 

yea i had some extra duty 3M tape and worked great on the passenger side ballast which i mounted upside down right under the fender to the left of the headlight..

but the driver side i was going to mount it there too BUT would that in ANY way restrict airflow to the intake??

 

Hope this helps here are a couple of pics. of the ballast for the fog lights, on the passanger side I mounted the ballast behind the wiper fluid first I used 3M tape and then I used a zip tie to keep it from moving arund just to secure it. for the driver side its mounted in front of the CAI I need to turn it around so the wires are out of sight, again I used 3M and a zip tie. Once the headlight arrive I will mount them on the fender with 3M tape once I install I will post more pics.

 

This is just what I did, stuck them to the front of the strut towers. Make sure to clean the area very well and then give it a quick rub down with rubbing alcohol, mine haven't moved an inch in over a year now.
