Best HID ballast location?

[Troy711]

I just fitted my 3000k foggies. I'm pretty damn impressed. They are nice and bright and also have a nice yellow tint to them.

In the last pic it looks as if they are aimed too high but that's only because my driveway is on a slope.

Have you got yr lights with these set to auto on? I ask as there is another post on a similar topic where they say they have probs: ie the lights don't come on for a while with auto lights and approach function doesn't work- have you noticed thus?

if you get problems with the HID not coming on or sometimes one is on and one is off.. it could be the auto lights feature of the car. i have had problems with mine. seems the ballast doesnt like the auto lights. and others on here have had same problem as i left a thread about this. since installing HID relays into the setup no longer getting any problems at all with the HID some ppl have had no problems at all since there HID but there are also some ppl who have had problems. most is caused by the auto headlight feature of the VE.

ThAnks mate: yes that is the thread I was referring to: if i get the ones where the ballast is "built in" as opposed to separate ballast can I use the relay fix?

This is what I like about this forum - there is always someone who can help

I just installed the plug and play low beam and fog lights with the ballasts in the caps - awesome! Only difficult part was getting my hands in to take bulbs out etc which is coz is the design of the car, nor these kits

Cool man it was hard as hell to install my low beams, just not enough room for my hands lol.

Why wouldn't you just buy the HID that have the ballasts built into the dust caps? Saves you taking off the front bar and trying to find a place to mount them, am I missing something?
