I need to know if it would be alright to mount the ballests here.


I never got a nice metal mounting bracket like shane did and i have to use zip ties. Im going to drill 4 holes one on each side and zip tie them in a +. I was also think about doing two per side to hold it really good like this #. Just wanted to make sure befor i do anything. thanks

 

BUMB
Need some help...would like to get the ballest mounted tonight

 

Are they water proof? Seems to me they might allow some rain water in if they're not water proof.

 

Im not to sure if they are or not...it will be between the grill and the radiator. They would also be behind the hood latch.

 

yeah thats fine!

 

I just used velcro and put mine on my radiator core support.

 

korey, do you have any pics of where yours were mounted?? Im not wanting to use the velcro dont really like the stuff..never had any luck with it.

 

I don't have any pictures of mine yet. But heres a random picture I found on Google, they are pretty much in the areas on the bottom left and right corners of the pic.

 

From the pics you posted, i can tell you are mounting them on the engine side of the header panel...


yep...you're good...


look where i got mine for the fogs...and i get 'em beat with rain, hail, and snow....

 

where i want to put mine they will be right inbetween the two holes on the black plastice peice.

 

looks like you needed a alightment

 

shane i was waiting on you to chim in. LOL i wish i got those sweet mounting brackets like you got with yours :( you think zip ties will be fine to hold them on? want the zip ties to be like this #

 

OHHHH...forgot to comment on that! lol. I think my Xentec's came with 3M ahesive thingys....my fog ones are stuck to my header panel using those. never had a problem and they've been there since April....so they've seen the rainy fall and rainy winter so far.

 

I submerged mine today and they work fine

 

I installed my 4 ballasts (headlights/foglights) above the plastic wheelwell covers inside where the fenders are. I screwed the brackets right into the sheetmetal and they really don't get wet because the plastic is in the way.

 

ok thanks guys for all the help...getting kinda late so ill just take care of this tomarrow

 

yeah i got brackets with mine.
