That area on the drivers side isn't clear for a GS-R (see his username..)

I mounted my drivers side ghetto-squeezed between the CC unit and windshield wiper fluid bottle..

Once I get unlazy or install E46 Bixenon projectors I will remount them to behind the lights in the fender/bumper.

Build you 2 brackets and mount them on the front of your radiator support. They area side by side with about 1 1/2 between each other. You couldn't even se them unless I told you were to look. (Thanks to Tony from Jotech)

What are you talking about? As far as I know, the ballasts are mounted on the back of the headlights







Just a test fit so that I could move the ABS pump and acumulator back.

Here is the difference with 98+ cars, a lot more space between the ABS accumulator and the ballast

depends on which year Integra you have to determine where to mount the ballasts. Here's where mine are:

Underneath the ABS unit (headlight removed in this pic)


Adjacent to the cruise control actuator

This is where I mounted one. The other one is mounted to the chassis(sideways) under the bumper (I have no washer bottle).
