Where do you put your HID ballasts ?

Just a quick question, I'm doing HID conversion on my 2000, just wondering where you usually put them ballasts ?

thanks

One in the Ashstray, the other one in the glove compartment and I cut one in a half and put it in the sunglass tray. Taped the other half under the sunroof vizor.

When I did have HIDs for the headlamps, I had one ballast directly in front of the coolant bottle on the pass. side, and the drivers side was right in front of the battery. It's been awhile since i took them out so I can't remember. Just place them where you have enough room.

When I put the HIDs in my fogs, I placed them on the bumper frame.

you just post a wasteful reply ... what's the point? again, I have searched, but no real clear post any where about this. This post seems stupid to you? if you're too smart for it please do not post such a juvenile reply, you are wasting the forum space.

This thread is indeed stupid to me. Especially since ONE SECOND of searching gave me two threads of which one has the exact same title as yours! And I didn't even try.

This one even has pictures

Thank you...

Mcsteve ... there are gazillion topics being repeated, asked and Re-asked everyday in this forum (or any forum). You must know that the search engine sometimes not really giving you what you search for...besides, I"m not asking how to clean the carburetor on the VQ here...but thanks anyway for the links.
