Where do you hide your Xenon Kit parts?

Hello everyone.

I was offered a Xenon Kit for my car which arrived and was installed yesterday. By searching on eBay mine is like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-43...ht_5568wt_1165


The pieces were almost all hided just behind the bulb, where the red cover of the head-light protects it. I would like to know by who have installed a kit similar to mine where you hided your's and opinion's, if it will be protected there from water and the heat.

I didn't tested mine much because it was still day but I'll try to get some photos and put it here later. About the installation, all went kinda ok, I had to cut just a bit of the fiber to let the new bulbs fit and at parking in garage, noticed that the left side wasn't moving up/down while regulating the high - will try to check that this weekend, need to see what's on the way

i hid mine under the headlights, attached to the frame. used double-sided adhesive tape and also wire-tired them in place to be safe.





although these old ones are getting replaced with some SakeBomb Garage projector HIDs this weekend

Very nice I also considered in there but altough my kit is slim, it didn't look it would be safe in that position, was scared that the headlight would hit the pieces and oil cooler and water would be more in check.
Your's isn't slim and you fitted there, I wonder if it has to do with my plastic's. I've seen some photos of those fiting the light perfectly, I'll show photos later on

The ones you are putting aren't retractable correct? I don't like much in Red, would consider if it was MB or Black, even Yellow

Just like Theorie mentioned, if you have the slim ballasts, you can mount everything under the headlight covers...

+1 like theorie except vertical not horizontal... uses double sided tape to hold but mostly so it wont bang metal on metal and vibrate and make noise... then zip tied em

It was where I hided, the main problem was the size of the cable that goes to the other headlight. Since I have to open one of the sides to fix it I'll take some photos to post here
