I have r60 LCI w/o HID and just bought DDM tuning kit. I was wondering if there is a good spot for the ballast to be mounted? Where do most of you mount these?

I was thinking about doing everything w/o removing the headlight so let me know if there is a good place, otherwise, i'll just have to pull the headlight out and mount it under it.

Thanks,

-Mark

If you got the slim ballast...you could mount right behind the headlight on the frame with double-sided tape or some sort of strap.

I ended up double siding mines to the bumper below the headlight and mounted the canabus on the inside of bumber on its side.
