I wouldn't recommend mounting the ballast inside the headlight as this can cause it to overheat. This is how I mounted mine...I got a little sloppy with the hot glue where the wires pass through the rear cover until I found a better fitting grommet

Mounting it in this way allows for superior cooling (just like the Litronics) and doesn't interfere with normal headlight installation.
