Hey all,

Soon i will be installing HID lights in my projectors and am just wondering where is the best place to mount those balky ballasts on a VE? in my case i need to mount 4 of them. Oh and what are people using to hold them in place?

have you purchased the hids yet?

if not i just purchased some off ebay with a built in ballast to the dust cap much easier to install and no messy wires also looks untouched under the bonnet

Not my pic, got sent to me from Len at ezhid.com.

I'm gunna do the upgrade ASAP though. Id assume a 55w is pretty darn bright!! I've seen them in spotlights, but that's a purpose built reflector. I'm thinking the standard high beam reflector will prob limit it a bit but will still be a helluva lot brighter than a standard halogen.

55w is off the chain mate, even in a reflector you will be blinding roos from 10km away lol, but be careful if you are running reflectors (not the SSV set up) you will also blind any oncoming traffic, so be quick to flick em back to your low beams
