AWESOME! Could you take a picture of where you mounted the ballast/igniter at? That's the only thing I've been iffy on,I don't know where I could secure and leave the ballast without worrying about it.

pteam...I have to say they look better than i thought they would good job. You took the gamble and I think it paid off.

I have the 6000k HID kit from Hella in my car. There is a video of mine at www.youtube.com/gwhand

So after all of this I think everyone that has done this mod is happy with it, its a personal choice of what temperature your looking for they all seem to be winners.

I mounted my ballast behind the carpets and it has a very stock look to it.

My next plan may be a set of hids for the fog lights....stay tuned.

Do you have any pics of how you did that?

We left the ballasts in behind the lights, one on each side. We zip tied them onto something I cant remember metal or something, they were very secure I tried to move them with my hand and they wouldnt really move.
