Looks great sportzfan! - I'm also getting ready to install the same kit as well but was curious as to how you mounted the ballasts. Appreciate it!

Let me start by saying that each ballast contains a bracket mounted to it that allows easy install.

On the passenger side I used an existing bolt and nut where the horn is attached...I just loosened the nut
and attached the ballast mount through the bolt and reattached the nut. So the ballast is phsyically connnected on the horn mount.

On the driver's side I used 3 plastic ties through the mount to hold the ballast secure to an area right behind the head light assembly.

Both ballasts are quite secure and held in place firmly.

If you buy from the same venfor I used, (Erick) he includes directions. I also called him on his cell phone to double check some additional questions I had.

Hooked mine up the same as you did - the oddity is, if my PDC comes on and I have my fogs ON, the front PDC wigs out like I'm about to hit something . As soon as I turn the fogs off, it calms down. Pretty strange but not a big deal.
