Default Check out what came in.. MobileHID UPDATED! (no 56k)

I ordered H11's 6000K last Thursday with the scionlife discount and they came in the mail today. unfortunately checked the mail a little to late and i have to work tonight so they'll be going on tonight after work or tomorrow. and will post pics, haven't seen to many 08+ hid conversion pics.

does anyone have any suggestions or pointers i would need to know when installing them (ie where to put the ballasts)

They seem to have made new ballast as they seem smaller than in the pics on the website, they also came with some freebies it seems, some led wedge bulbs i dont know what color they are yet im assuming white







Heres where i ended up put the ballats with zipties, if anyone knows of a better place to put them this is only slightly temporary





heres the relay (littlebox with h11 on it) i think really need a better location for it bc it isnt water proof, and i put the ground wire to battery, anyone know of a better ground spot ( i was thinking same as the fogs but i would have to go under the car for that)



wires along the bumper


heres out it turned out




probably need to lower them some but it doesnt seem that bad

'09 install is same as the '08 install... they're the same headlights...

it's all plug and play, it's so easy it's not even funny.

Mobile HID is one of the easiest kits to install......pull your bulbs and put the new ones in......run the harness across the gap between the bumper and the radiator......there is aharnes already there that you can zip tie it to.....pull harnes up to area by light and plug in and hook up wire on light to ballast......hook up relay to battery and then hook plug harness to the drivers side light stock wire location and turn on lights........tidy up the wires with zip ties.

did the ballast come with hangers......look under the packing crate in the box.......if not I do not know where would be good to mount as mine are hanging off my radiator bar on each side of the grille.

im probably goin to leave the tabs bc im lazy

im open to opinions about the height of the headlights (or foglights) seems ok to me but then again i dont know what normal is, first time with hids

anyone have any idea what this is for?
