HID Installation pics?

Ok after finding out its not a good idea to use stock headlights or projectors for HID's cause of glare etc, i decided to put them on hold till i can afford to buy the Hella Headlights but i did order a set of fogs from flashplus on ebay cause i got the itch for HID's. We'll i looked under my truck today to plan my locations for the ballasts and i couldnt really find a place.lol. Would someone or anyone with HID's PLEASE submit some pics showing where you mounted your ballasts for your fogs and your headlights, relay etc. Or at least describe where to mount them, im stumped and any help would be MUCH appreciated.. Cant wait. TY eveyone

i glued mine to the top of the fog light, there was just enough room. the wire wasn't long enough to put it anywhere else. btw i have the hella type ballast.

McCulloch's are vey good HID kits, Very high quality and durable

I mounted my Headlight Amp and Ballast to the Radiator Cover with screws, and my Fog light amps and Ballasts, I screwed them to the bumper support bracket. I'll post up pics when I get a chance.

The side shelf that the hood lays on is a great place to attach the ballasts too. There are a few holes pre drilled to just zip tie them in. If you are getting HELLAS Ill by your projectors.
