I tried searching for the subject and have come across threads where people recommend mounting the ballasts and ignitors on the stock intake and battery.

I was also told that I can zip tie or velcro them for more tightness.

For some reason, having these components on the battery just sounds like a weird idea to me. Could everyone please tell me where he/she has mounted his ignitors and ballasts on his/her SC4?

A picture would be nice too.

Thanks in advance.

I do not have any pictures, but at a local shop here in Columbus mount them inside the bumper. It may sound weird, but it works well, and are very hard to see. Most makes require you remove the bumper to do this, but it looks nice.

That sounds pretty professional.

I was hoping to figure out a way to mount them without removing my headlights.

Any ideas?....

i screwed on onto the side of the fuse box, and the other on top of the air box.

Both the ballasts and ignitors?

Could you show me a pic of what you've done?

Thanks!

Here's where I mounted mine. I had doubts about using only two bolts, but they are pretty damn secure with four washers and four nuts.

I spent an hour trying to find the most inconspicuous spot for these bulky things

Thanks a lot lex400sc

Are they just the ballasts? Did you mount the ignitors elsewhere?

My ballasts are D2 design, the ballast and ignitor are integrated. Yours are D1 if they are two-piece.

Just out of curiosity, what HID set ups are you guys running?

I mounted my ballasts behind my bumper. I was afraid of the engine heat. Maybe I'll post pics of my ballasts mounted.

BTW, I'm running Hella 6000K
