HID's

[Tizer]

Just a quick q. my car had these when i bought it there is a little silver box next to the front light with (i assume) all the stuff in it to make it HID. however the box is just wedged in not secured anywhere?!? where have other people secured it?

i'm presuming your on about the ballast box, reading through a couple of threads, alot of people seem to take the front bumper off and mount it underneath the headlights, as it keeps it hidden out of the engine bay and secured out of reach hope that helps

 

[Fl@pper]

is it unwedgeable ? a lot of them seem to come with a stick pad to hold em down so probably been mounted with that - I have a few spare brakets if you want any

a spare bracket would be great where have you mounted yours. mine is currently:

Jesus ****! Thats a bit pikey!

As they are there they dont have the rear headlight covers which is not good! Im going to guess you dont have one on the other side either? Are your headlights constantly filled with condensation by any chance?

I hope he gave them to you with the car? Clearly when hes fitted them he couldnt be bothered drilling holes in the back of them to pass the wires through = lazy!

As far as mounting the ballasts goes though, i have one stuck to the battery on the passenger side and the other is stuck to the chassis leg under the drivers headlight

I actually took my headlights off to do mine!! Thought Id get them hidden under the headlight on the chassis leg, theres a pokey out bit they can be bolted on to.
