Best / Cleanest H.I.D. Install (IMO)
Hey everyone, this is the first time Ive done an H.I.D. install and it came out pretty dang good. Ive seen other tcs at car shows and meets and the balast is just zip tied or hanging around somewhere in the engine compartment visible. Unfortunately I am a perfectionist lol so that wouldnt work for me. I installed mine in a way that the ballast would not be seen, may also help if you ever get pulled over for them. BTW I got mine from Mobile HID, this install makes *this* kit seem like a factory part.
I started off by bending the mounts the kit came with into a right angle (L shape). I then found a place where I can use prexisting screws instead of zipties or making a new hole. Run the connections from the kit through the hole next to the headlight housings.
Here is a close up of both sides where I mounted the ballast.
Once you have installed the ballast top it off with a Doctor Isotope Radiator Cooling Plate and no one will know you have H.I.D.s installed.
Here is a shot of the grill and the little bit you can see of the ballast, if it bothers you it can easily be painted black.
Here are some before and after shots of the 6000ks.
So what do you all think??[/img]

That is where I put my kit as well a while back..........fit like it was meant to go there..........I angled mine a bit to the sides to match the curve of the opening and then you cannot see them through the grill aswell.........

I would be ticked if someone did that. I will probably eventually paint them black so you wont be able to see any of them.
Any one want my08 Grills?
I dont need them anymore.
