HID installment question

didn't know where to put it, since there is no lighting section, I was just wondering where I can place my ballast for my HID in the engine bay since the HID setup I got didn't come with a bracket... thanks

I have seen some mount it on the fuze box behind the head light, and not sure about the other side.

I believe pretty much anywhere not in direct contact with a lot of heat should be fine.

Zip ties > duct tape

When it comes to cars, at least.

u can use double sided tape and just mount it on the fender

but i just used zip ties and attached it to the support bar, looks kinda ghetto but it works.....
