Im going to put 3000K hid for my fogs soon and was wondering where the heck to mount the ballasts... and woul di Need to take off my front bumper to do this? :-s, it seems to be a lot more complicated than doing the headlights.

thanks in advance.

A member on here ('00vegas-solara) mounted his ballasts under the headlights. I think it makes for a clean install, plus it's out of sight. Regardless, I wouldn't think removing the bumper would be necessary. Here's the link.

I have an optima battery, no worry about acid.

i mounted mine adjacent to the bumper support. i did remove the headlights to do so, i never had any issues with water seeping in.

I mounted my ballast for my headlights for the drivers side on the mount for the air bag sensor. I pulled the headlight out and used a zip tie to hang the ballast from that bracket. There was a hole on the bracket for the air bag sensor and on the ballast. Then I used some 3m double sided tape and stuck that on the side out air bag sensor mount and stuck that bad boy on there. Its not going anywhere. That may be an option if you haven't already mounted your other ballast there.
