Once I get fogs again I'm gonna be taking off the bumper, so I'm gonna be mounting mine somewhere under the headlights. The slim ballasts have holes for mounting, and for the fat ballasts I have ballast mounts like these. Gonna be using the fat ballasts for HIDs in the fogs.

Just use heavy duty double-sided tape.

i think zip ties are a way to go. i zip ties all mines pretty close to the head lights. just like an inch away.

I mounted mine on the side of the battery and right under the ABS.
I have the thick ballasts and didnt need to replace them since they are working fine.
Yes they are water proof, but why take the chance on your lighting system if you don't have to.
Besides, if repair or replacement is needed, it's much easier to get to them if they're somewhere in the engine bay rather than having to remove the front bumper

oh damn, I like your setup way better, hmm i'll move mine to the side of the battery, Mounting it on the side of the battery won't do anything right?

p.s thanks for posting a pic of where you placed it, helps alot!
