Question HID install ????

how do you have your kit set up? my kit came with brackets,zipties,screws some rubber lining. did you use anything to hold the igniter and ballast's down? or are they just moving around in the engine bay?

U either wanna screw them down, or zip tie them to somewhere in the engine bay, people on here have done both, don't let your $300some ballasts slide around

anyways yeah zip ties, screws, straps, or 3m tape. Just make sure it doesnt move around. Mine came with double side padded tape. which is good to absorb the car's vibrations
