    Just looking for some ideas where to mount my HID ballasts and tuck the wires.

    Did you use 3m double sided tape? Did you use self taping screws?

    Post some pictures please. I’m not the most creative guy but an excellent plagerizer! Haha

    I don't have pictures, but I used the tape and just stuck it where it fit. I know some people used screws, but I haven't had any issues 'yet'..

    Don't use 3M, it just doesnt work. There is a body bolt next to the washer resevoir that can be used but you will need to widen the ballast hole so just use a drill press or whatever. For the driver side there is also a body bolt down low you can use OR build a bracket.

    Below is the bracket I built and use.
