Hid hiding place

by vinny_69 » Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:40 pm

after two week i have got hold of me new Hid's (he sent the wrong ones 1st time) these ones don't seem to have the normal kind of flat boxed Ballast, it's more of a cylinder type one
most ppl hide the flat sort behind the bumper but as these are fat stumpy type can i put em in the Bay or any other suggestions?

vinny you can still hide the ballasts behind the bumper as those silver things are the monts and they have holes to put a bolt through :D
