I got a HID kit for my car 8k HIDS...got it from HIDextra..works with BMW's. Came with all the things, anti flicker/anti error cables, ballasts. Where is the best place to put the ballasts WITHOUT removing the headlight?

Not sure on that one. My low beams were already xenon, so I just swapped bulbs (no ballasts were needed).

I have normal big ballasts not SLIM so I think room near the right side of light is fine.
BUT I REMOVE the bulb holder from the clip HOW I GET THAT ON HID BULB?? Please help I broke the old bulb by accident by stepping on it and travelling 300 miles tomorrow!

I suggest removing the headlight. More room to work.
