I dont have pics of mine. But if you have the 3.6L you have to take the light houseing out (to make it a lot easier) to get the harness and ballasts in. I just used some 3M double sided tape to the inside of the fender.

Yes I do have the 3.6 and was wondering about the light on the passenger side I know my driver side has more room because I removed the horn and mounted my wolo horn else where.

I know I've seen people use double sided 3m and mount the driver side on the washer bottle but didn't know exactly where I wanted to put my passenger side

2-sided tape and zip ties to the window washer reservoir. My HID lights are on the bumper.

Mine are just behind the grill. Been there two years, and on a roof rack for 2 years before that. No issues. I don't know if ddm are waterproof but I know mine are.

Mine also come with mounting brackets. Just loosen a bolt and bolt them on.
