Hi All,

I searched for places to mount the HID ballasts... seems like mostly people are using double sided tape or velcro to do this...

Has anyone used the mounts for the ballast and screwed it in... if so where...

For the pass side I was thinking near the washer fluid pump... there was a " screw hole " that seemed to match perfect....just a little tight with the ballast there

For the Driver side I was thinking under the battery there are 2- 3 holes use one of those ?

I dont want to drill any holes... and not sure about using velcro or double sided tape, since there are the most worst pot holes on my way to work...

Also with velcro what are you using to hold the ballast in place

Thanks

jay

 

that is what i did exactly

 

I guessing you mean the screws... do you have any pics of the install

Thanks

 

get the grey 3M tape and make sure you clean the areas WELL and you'll be fine. My ballasts for my fogs have been mounted for months and are doing a-ok (the highways here in orlando SUCK)

 

well i don't know if the screws provided w/ your ballast can fit in the holes but mine did do i didn't need to use 3m tape or velcro or zipties

 

the passenger side fits...
the driver side hold under the battery is bigger... I was thinking about getting a bigger screw from advanced.

do yo know the size for that hole by any chance....

Thanks

 

actually for the drivers side, where the stock intake box use to be there are holes there i put it there

 

so Since I have the stock intake box... I wont be able to use those.... right ?

 

listen, if you buy 3m double sided tape from your autoparts store, no pot whole you hit will knock that ballast off, trust me. when i traded my tc in i had to rip off the ballast, that thing was attached on there so damn good, i could not imagine that hitting some bumps is going to knock it off, you could roll you car off the grand canyon and that ballast is still gonna be stuck to the car. heres a pic of the drivers side.

 

I found a spot for the passenger side. I'm still looking for a good spot on the driver side....

 

under the battery... ?

 

This guy isn't kidding....

 

hey leov36,
is it double sided tape ? which one from here ....

what did you trade the tC for ?

 

the highways here are pretty good... but once I get into DC the back roads suck.

 

uhh yeah if you got your stock on still then i don't know. seems like you gotta 3M double sided tape it up

 

i dont think its any of those, all i know is i bought it at auto zone. its made by 3m, the actually tape itself is gray, but has one side that is covered with a red plastic layer that peels off.

traded tc for this

 

no tape for me (dont trust in it)

on this 2 pics u can see my driver side ballast... i found a few hole behind my intake.. so on the bottom there is a short but fat screw.. and a zip tie on the top..




other side:

well i tried to find a good place but this was the easiest... i have to remove if i want to change my bulb or led... but to remove and reinstall is gonna be half minute. MAX!
so... zip tie:


ziip tied on that cable too... just to prevent too much moving..

 

i have the stock intake so i wont have access to those holes... right ?

 

no, i did it where he did your stock intake uses those holes
