when you mount HID ballasts

[nexTOme]

i searched, i found some places to mount ballasts, but to keep ballasts completely(or near completely protect) keep away from dew, moisture, road dirt, what shoud i do? wrap them in plastic bag?? haha

no but seriously, i have denso ballasts, and it seems less rigid and tough to protect itself from dirt/moistures compare to some of the other ballasts.

so what do you guys suggest?

Do a search on this, I think at least one member put his in sandwich bags and mounted them one near the windshield washer fluid resevoir and the other on the opposite side same location.

hahaha yea my right ballast is just hanging down near where the intake resonator is

I think I should clean it up and wrap the whole thing in electrical tape. Then use a bunch of zip ties and put it to where I want.

wrap them in electrical tape? hmmmm........i might do this and apply silicone all over it....LOL just to "protect"!

don't the ballast generate heat? i figure if you keep them in a plastic bag, it'll create condensation.
