I bought the largest one was a bit left over but for only one of the rear lights which was disappointing so I did my fogs instead going to order more for the rear. I did it without opening the bonnet an thinking about it now I should of done it that way as I would of covered the whole light

thanks...

Just ordered a 8000k hid kit which I am picking up tomorrow morning. Anyone got any advice on where to mount the ballasts. Can't wait to get them fitted

Mine are both under the headlights around the chassis and air con pipes etc hard to hide them really

Yeah I'm just fitting them now, they don't seem that secure. Have not drilled out the rubber grommet yet trying to locate a 25mm cutter. Are yours secured the same way

Don't worry done it I took the metal securing clip of the connector and sliced it to get it around the hid bulb all secure now

looking good just can't wait for it to be dark

I think that ballast locations are going to be temporary it's to cold and windy today and I scatched my hands to shit doing the near side one... Fu*****. Fuse box

No need to fix them anywere tbh.. When jay done mine we just sloted them down the side of the tank and the other down just tucked away lmao. Never had a problem!

I've mounted my ballasts with the bracket supplied, bolted the o/s one to the air con compressor bracket and the n/s one to the chassis rail, there's a handy threaded hole that the supplied fixing bolt fits, one of my bulbs started playing up this morning tho, stays ok for about 30 secs but then turns a pinky/ orange colour, gutted!

Where yours cheap Chinese one I heard they go wrong, I got mine from euro car parts with a years guarantee so hopefully should be ok

Got them off davetefc on ebay, got a 100% rating and it's a quality kit, just one of the bulbs has started to play up, emailed him earlier this afternoon, so just waiting to hear back, got a years guarantee and i've only had them about 3 weeks so should be ok!
