    I hope this pictures give you an idea, I like to keep it clean I hate loose wires inside my hood I think nobody notice the wires and my installation look like it came from factory, positive wire is connected under my fuses box and not directly in the battery terminal, I used factory ground locations in right and left side,

    My only concerns is the TRS Motocontrol harness is too short and a few more inches will help to get a perfect hidden setup

    I wish the wires were 4-6 inches longer so they could have been hidden better. One day I'll move mine

    I drilled 2 holes each side then painted with matched touch up OEM color to avoid any rusting, Velcro can be used too if don't want to drill holes

    You can kind of see in this pic that I mounted my passenger side ballast to the side of my windshield fluid res with 20# 3M tape(Pretty sure this was Burt's suggestion). It's clean, keeps the ballast high, no drilling and there is no chance of it moving.

    I always used that super sticky double sided 3M tape to hold my ballasts on. I used it on one car for a year then sold the car so I took the hids out. It was all I could do to pull the ballasts off the inner fender.

    I may try the Velcro next.

    3 sets of 2005-2011 retrofits with varying options.
    1 4Runner retrofit
    1 Rav4 retrofit
    2 1st Gen retrofits

    These will all be completed within the next 2 weeks. Please let me know if you are interested in starting a build - lead times are short at this time!
