I'm using zip ties onto the wires to keep them in place. Works like a charm

Make sure to fasten the ballest so that it does not bounce around and hit things. it will burn out very fast that way!!! Should be snug and secure.

+1 w/ zip ties. Just find a nice solid surface in there, and zip tie it horizontally and then vertically for a snug fit.

I'd be worried about the heat from the HID bulb inside that small fog housing. I remember rominal had one of his HID bulbs blow up in there.

are there already holes in the bumper for the zip ties to go in, where can you buy zip ties at. i have not got the chance to see if the duck tape still is holding in place.
