Where did you mount your HID ballasts?
I have HIDs for my stock headlights and am wondering where is the best place to mount the ballasts. I drive an 03 OZ Rally.
Any help/suggestions/advice/photos are greatly appreciated

I have HID's in my 03 es, all I did was mount the ballasts close to the headlight assy where I could find room and secure it good. Word of advice do not mount them below the headlight I toasted a ballast the first 2 days due to water getting into the contacts from doing this. I can take a pic if you like. It is prolly the worst install I have ever done lol but the ballasts are nice and dry and have been in for over a year now.

^DOH! Something I've done in past vehicles is heatshrink any connection points to ensure water doesn't get in. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that with the Evo.

rubber grommets made by some 7 year old Chinese kid == crappy rubber grommets! 
Of course - that isn't exactly funny when you think about it.
