    Where are you mounting your ballasts?

    I have 2 ballasts per side, normal size ballasts, not slim. I am having a hard time deciding where to mount them. I am not a fan of drilling into the chassis. Any ideas?

        Unless I drill holes in the chassis or fab. my own bracket, I cant see how to mount it other than some type of cheap means such as double sided tape or zip ties. I am going to try and ziptie both balasts between the backside of the headlights like so:


        It will be inconspicuous. I am afraid of double sided tape coming loose while cornering. or over time. Thanks for the reply though. I am still searching for ideas.

          Wire tucked driver side and put the ballast behind the coolant reservoir (m20b25 late model)

          Passenger side is taped to the sidewall near the headlight itself.

            This. I have my ballast in the same location for about half a year. No problems. These ballast are like bulletproof.
