HID Fogs Installation - Where do I put the ballasts?

Postby Nemesis85 » Wed Dec 26, 2012 12:51 am

So I got my HID 3000k Fogs finally for Christmas, but have a question. Where have you guys mounted the Ballasts? I got mine from DDMTuning and I did get the slimmer ballasts, but don't really know of a good place to keep them once installed. Any recommendations from people that have installed HID fogs would be great! Thanks for your help!!! Gonna install these Friday! Excited!

I mounted mine along the side of the bumper, double sided tape, and it should stick just clean the surface first with rubbing alcohol. then mount it. Mine have been on there for 8 months or so and have not come off.

Yeah, I used 3M grey double sided tape, I think one is stuck to my washer bottle and the other on the inner fender well on the inside. It's been over 1 year and no issues.

I stuck mine to the side of the frame rail right there, I used a 3M glue and wedged something to hold it there while they dried over night. I think as long as you have a spot that doesn't get wet too much and you clean the surfaces you should be cherry.
