Ballast Mounting Options

Sti-lysh · 02-03-2010, 12:17 PM

Hey guys,

Going to be doing a halogen to xenon conversion and just was trying to get ideas from other members and see the spots they picked to mount the ballasts. I want to keep the high and dry and as rigid as possible. If anyone has pictures that would be appreciated.

The inner bumper support is usually a good area to mount xenon ballasts.

I assume that involves removing the bumper cover?

If you are doing a halogen to xenon conversion, you certainly have to remove the bumper. Don't know what kind of ballasts you are using. If you ballast is small enough like the ones that power D1S bulbs, you can mount the ballasts on the bottom of the headlight like you will see on this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/dsc201kn...14/BO8x470Zudc. Another option would be like this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=312847.

most mount it on the inner support bar and it will require bumper removal
