HID Balast fitting on Drivers Side

stevo72 · Nov 18, 2007

I have joined the HID gain this weekend, and i agree with everyone else, HID is the best mod for its money, dont even think about getting upgrade bulbs get HID for a few pence more

JUst one thing though, i seem to be having problems where to fit the balast on the drivers side, the only place i seem to have found is a bolt hole on front frame which the bonnet comes down onto to, there is a bolt hole on the inner lip, but the hole is alot bigger than the bolts supplied so some modifications would be needed.

Any other ideas where you have fitted yours would be welcome.

Cheers

i used double sided sticky velcro the strong stuff from b and q and stuck it to my washer bottle with a zip tie round it

Take the washer bottle out and drill a hole behind the washer bottle and mount it in there, that's where i fitted mine and you can't see it.

bolt it onto this bolt mate, unscrew the bolt and fit the ballast over the screw, then screw the bolt back on. easy as pie.

nice one jamie, thats exactly what i did. i knew i'd seen a pic of it somewhere!

stevo72 · Nov 18, 2007

I was gonna then I couldn't be bothered. I even removed it the other day to swap some side lights. Cheap LED **** lasted 2 weeks

.

Mine is here as others. Although I tried to bend it down and under out of the way. However they are a sealed unit and the conectors have a rubber seal so I don't think water/moisture will be an issue.

Behind the washer bottle still gets my vote:

Can't see either ballast:

tucked just behind the washer bottle

The top of it can still be seen in that pic ... thinking abiout it now i should have hid the wiring as well D'oh

Funkyfin2000 · Jan 21, 2008

how did you get it in there dude? copmlete removal of bottle?

Mine Is Behind The Bottle There Is A 8mm Threaded Hole. You Just Need To Take 2 Screws Out And The Washer Bottle Is Free. Bolt It In Down Behind The Washer Bottle It Takes A Bit More Time But Looks 20 Times Better!!!
