    my headlight ballasts are mounted to the fender behind the corner light. The fog ballast is under the bumper cover under the headlight. Make sure the connections are in good as both locations are wet

    I mounted mine to the frame underneath the headlight housings.....there's just enough room in there to mount them in. I actually got extra points at a car show for the clean install.
    One of the First: 2008 Liquid Red Pontiac G8 GT (hers)
    -Intake, Tune, Magnaflow Exhaust, 40% tint.
    -Next: Rims, lowered?, headers?

    One of the Last: 2009.5 Stryker Blue Metallic Pontiac G8 GXP M6 (mine)
    -Intake, Magnaflow Exhaust, 25% tint.
    -Next: Headers and tune.
