HID ballast placement

i think i haz pizorz somewhere of mine, but i mounted them to the back of the headlight facing the radiator. there's a perfect little spot between the low/highbeam that keeps 'em safe and sound, and it's clean as hell.

I put mine where the resonator use to be at, I have the fat ballast.

I put mine near the shock towers after an unfortunate water incident. Winter - splash guards + HID ballasts = no headlights.

You don't have the inner fender liner? I thought ballast are suppose to be "waterproof". I have no liner, Im careful not to run over thick puddles.

The only thing the fender liners are good for is keeping sand and ice out of the door hinges... otherwise it's gay and I destroyed them with rubbing.
And the ballast itself is waterproof, the connectors are not. I got water in one and it froze, separated the pins and caused the light to not work.

Some say they are waterproof but actually aren't, seems pretty common with "no name" ballasts and HID kits to throw out the word "waterproof" but on alot of them if you open them up there is no form of waterproofing at all inside the case
