Thanks for taking the time to put up your pics. You sure seem to have one clean car!

I also found some pics around here. Looks to be pretty simple with that cold air intake!

Thanks again,
Dave

i unscrewed some bolts for the radiator and then hooked up Pilot HIDs onto the unbolted sections. After that I tightened the previous bolts back on. Pretty clean and stable

I think on the drivers side I am going to put one ballest all the way on the side just in front of the strut tower on a vertical brace that supports one small bundle of wires which can just be reattached lower.

On the passenger side I think I am going to put the ballest on the frame rail just outboard and aft of the radiator.

I got digging to day and had removed the battery and tray and decided that wasn't going to be the spot. I got it back together and cleaned the battery and have to go to work now, maybe Thurs. I will get it in. I think its best to have lots of time and patience to get things done right so you don't have to go back and buy replacement parts to fix what wasn't done right the first time!!!

Well I got them installed and they work GREAT!

I bought them from Mike @ http://shop.3bspecialties.com/main.sc

When installing them I had a little problem and Mike helped me figure it out. I called him and got no answer only to get called right back and have Mike tell me he had just changed the ringer on his phone and wasn't used to the sound yet. LOL. Anyway he took the time to help me through the problem and made me one VERY satisfied customer. THANKS MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way I got the 6K bulbs and the 50W ballests and they look great.

Mine are like right out in the open, but I'm too lazy to relocate them. I'll do it when I re-do my grille lighting.

That's exactly what I think when someone passes me on the highway at night, lol...I also think their probably wondering why the hell there's two big triangle shaped lights on the road out in front of me...I just put my ballasts anywhere they fit and secured them with zip ties.
