Mounted the Ballasts and Ignitors today, what fun to find hidden/non-ugly spots. One is inside the front fascia area near the marker lights. the other is near the battery in a void area there.Both spots have good weather protection. I cut a piece of plexiglass to screw the ballasts onto, I used body tape to hold the assembly to the frame where i found spots. We'll see how it holds up over time.

Factory airbox used to be in this spot seen here.
the drivers side ballast area is down inside that hole. But i found a better way to get to it than through there..

ACCESS PORT!


Cleaned up the frame area with some water and towels so the double sided body tape could hold the ballast in place.


Sadley I had to mount it elsewhere on the passenger side as the horns occupy that area. So I found a spot near the battery that works and is decently non-ugly.


Ignitors are on a frame part just below and behind the highbeam bucket.

Both ballast wires can reach the ignitors from their locations.



Next is to mount the passenger side projector, get the covers, make the blocker plates and modify the other shroud to fit, run the electric from the battery fuse buss up to the ballasts, wire up the relays... hopefully all done by this weekend except the covers (shipping time!)
