hey guys, for those with S13s(s14s have similar engine bay?) and an HID kit installed…where did you place your ballasts? I’m having a really hard time figuring out where to put the ballasts…i’ve installed only one HID so far(passenger side) simply because the bracket screws on the driver’s side headlight is stripped/rusted n i cant get it out to put my H4 projector conversion… for now, I wrapped the ballast with a towel and taped it so it doesnt unravel, and placed it beside the battery, between it and the windshield washer reservoir tube… even though I cant install the driver’s side right now…I dont know where I would put it…any ideas? PS is it ok to leave the ballast by the battery? ---
