Default Where to put ballast for HID on a EG civic?

I have this H4 bi-xenon kit for my EJ1.

I'm looking for some ideas on where to put the ballasts.
I thought about putting them somewhere behind the front bumper but that would be hard to reach in case of problems.
What spot did you guys use that keeps you bay looking clean but is easy to reach?
Pics preferred.

Thanks!

I do not have any pics but Jimbo at Stage 6 put my HID ballasts on the frame of the car right inside of the enigne bay. They came out very clean. You could also mount them right against your current headlights.

way to contribute to the topic on hand....


I would just keep the balasts as far from the fenders as you can due to the water facor. The pictures up top seem to be good locations for mounting

I put my ballasts in front of the strut tower (more towards the headlights). I have used them (8000k H4 dual beam) for about 7 months now and have not had one problem whatsoever.
