Take the plastic snorkel for the intake [sits behind the fuse box].
You will have to take the battery out and un bolt the fuse box out and then you can access the OEM snorkel, and then you can mount the ballast on the driver side there.

Mine... I went for a stealth set-up that took me nearly an hour on each side to perfect.

For the left side, I found a couple of unused holes that matched up perfectly with the ballast's holes under the fuse box.

For the right side, I zip-tied the bottom of the ballast to the windshield washer fluid reservoir and bolted it to the top.

Under the battery, there's a nice little "shelf" to place it.
