    Not sure if no your referring to me or not. This is the only pic I have right now. So the power hooks up directly to the wires inside the cap. Red is hot. I was lazy and just hooked up the wires to the existing connectors inside the cap. The two black wires are the ones to the bulb.

        I did it behind my fender well on the Lotus. I guess you could do the same here, as long as you have a full fender liner.

          this is by far the easiest and cleanest way to do it

          my ballasts are zip tied behind the light covers

            Thanks nando! It's not touching the cover is it? I don't want to start melting stuff. :)

              The ballast shouldnt melt anything. If anything the bulbs haze the headlights.

                  Bingo - I screwed my ballasts to the inner fender = dun.
