HID Ballast Locations

Featured Replies

Any one got pictures on where they have located the Ballasts for their HID kits, Pref somewhere where they can be just cable tied. Not sure how I use the brackets which were supplied.

Oh I have read that the ballasts need to be grounded to the car chassis via the metal brackets.

Soooo if i wanted to cable tie them somewhere I could just run a 2mm earth Cable from ballast to chassis?

I mounted mine directly behind the headlight covers as per OEM using some small bolts and rubber washers, and a drill. Had to use a dremel to remove some of the plastic, but it was very easy.

I did this on the drivers side, and mounted the passenger side to the side of the battery cover.

So they dont have to be mounted to the chassis?

No, not that I know of - consider that the OEM ballasts are mounted on the plastic rear headlight covers.
