Where to mount HID ballasts?

I'm wondering if any of you who have installed HIDs found a good spot to mount the ballasts. As it stands now mine are stuck on with adhesive right about the shocks (behind the air filter on the left and battery on the right). It's not ideal, so I'm looking to possibly rig up a more secure mount using existing holes. Suggestions?

Use the factory grounding hole in that area on the passenger side, and use one of the fender bolts on the driver side. On my friend's Supra, I riveted the ballasts to the frame under the headlights. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of space.

If you install a short ram intake or a cold air intake, you will have all the space you need for the passenger side. For the drivers side, I actually installed my ballast on the inside fender wall next to the fuse box. It was a little painful to get in there, but there are factory holes you can screw into.
