    Hey I am new here this is my first post! I have just received my HID conversion kit and before i install them I was looking around and wasn't sure of the best spot to put the ballasts. So what do you guys think? also some pics would be greatly appreciated. oh and i have just the regular ballasts not the slim ones.
