Your HID Installation Pics

Hey guys.

Installed my 6000k bi-xenon HID setup last night. I started it around 6pm and rushed everything just so I could make sure the system worked, then came out early this morning since I have the day off and cleaned up all the wiring.

I'd like to see some pictures of you installs if possible. I have one wire (This is the bi-xenon kit, so it comes with the single relay that both ballasts connect to) that runs from the drivers side over to the passenger side to reach the relay.

I'm curious to see how you guys routed that wire because
1.) I don't want it just hanging there over the belts and stuff.
2.) I've got it tucked under the radiator plastic shroud right now until it gets close to the big main radiator hose... which right now I have it taped up a few inches over that because I'm worried about the heat from it affecting the wire.

This is the cleanest look I could get... but I'd like to do away with that tape if possible. Anyone know roughly what temperature that main hose runs at? Would it be detrimental to the wire if they touched a little bit?

Also, I plan on taking some pics tonight when the sun goes down. These lights are frickin' incredible.

I ran my bixenon wire to the other side just under the plastic piece that separate the radiator from the hood. I used zip ties to keep it away from that hose and to make sure it isnt dangling near any other parts.

Thats what I'm going for, but that plastic piece over the radiator ends right at that hose, then the wires have to go towards the battery for the relay.

Mine looks about the same and I've heard too many stories of getting things wet and causing problems. I keep the engine clean on my T/A but the truck is a daily driver and way too difficult to keep clean.
