Any installation tips and/or advice? More importantly the best spot and how to mount ballasts and what not to keep close to them and the resistors, so far I'm thinking 2 sided tape, electrical tape and zip ties...

Nothing to it plug and play. If you have the ballast with a bracket then it is even easier. I don't have much luck with double-sided tape though.

I mounted ballasts on both sides on a random bolt under the headlight. Only took a picture of one side though..

on the passenger side I mounted mine on the bolt that attaches the horn ( hard to find but BEST place to do it ), on the driver side should be quite easy and his pic above looks correct. hope you have small hands as this shit left me scarred... hahah!! good luck
