Been looking around the various HID fitment threads but can't see a common opinion on where to put the ballasts.

Previously I had them self-tapped into the underside of the headlight itself, which worked fine, but in my quest to keep the car as standard as possible, I'd like to be able to remove the HIDs without trace if I need/want to.

TIA.

ive seen some super slim line ones, i was thininkg of buying a set and mount them in the head light cover!

i wll try to find a link for them now!

Oh, I'd rather not

Had them neatly fixed on the underside of the headlights for the last Coupe, but I guess these ballasts are a tad bigger as I had a bit of a job getting them not to foul anything!

I do have both dip and beam sets, so that doesn't help.

Cant you just glue/stick them on rather than using screws? Mine have been stuck on in that position for years now - sticky pads backed up with some tigerseal. Should be easy enough to undo if ever required.

Why not just screw them in..and use sticky tape to cover the holes when removing them

I used window-glue and put them on the left/right side of the headlight on the bonnet. Looks fine to me, cable runs under the hood-heat thing.

OK, I'll have another look later, thanks.

i put my ballast's here and have had no problems with them , drilled and screwed with self-tapping screws but mr c used velcrow and stuck them in place and they work fine with no holes -

I have mine stuck with Velcro under the boot lining.

you must have long wires

mine are under my bonnet lining just behind the headlamps

Lol, classic, yes bonnet lining... it's been a long day.

Not the best pic but gives you an idea as to where mine are - basically on the underside of the light unit itself angled.

I like the new style bonnet strut (late model??)

Shame it wasn't broom yellow!
