^ That pic shows why HIDs are illegal. Just annoying blinding light.

Oh good. I thought you were another jackass putting HIDs in stock halogen housings. Really there is an endless stream of places to hid the ballasts. Have you thought of in the bumper? They make weatherproof velcro, so you really could put them just about anywhere.

This shows them zip tied to the bumper cross member.
