HID Question (Sorry)

[maurauth]

Hey, after my thread a couple of months ago, finally got the money and the HIDS-Direct kit has arrived.

I'd rather not take the bumper off the car in the current weather (rained every day for the past week), and I don't have an accessible garage.

I can see that you can fit the warning canceller, on the nearside, in the tray that the battery is in, as there's a nice little gap at the bottom. But where can you fit it on the offside? Do you have to take the airbox out to find a place?

EDIT: Oh and it all worked with just the ballast warning canceller, do I still need to wire in the capacitor ones as well in case a problem develops?

I can't wait to get them fitted, plugged them all in to the car loose and the light difference is amazing!

Thanks in advance guys

I just lodged it in, shouldn't have really, but so far so good! I also have only the warning cancellers in, have the capacitors boxed for back up though! I get a bulb failure light every so often, but goes when I turn the lights on!

On the drivers side? You just left it hanging or?

Driver's side yeah, it's not hanging, lodged somewhere by the air filter, I should secure it really, what has everyone else done, glued or taped or something?

I'm tempted to try using the doublesided super adhesive stuff you get for sticking numberplates on, but was wondering if the ballast gets hot? Will it melt the adhesive?

I just placed mine on top of the air box, with the bonnet down it don't move.

cant you whip the airbox off and get it in down the side, be neater for the sake of an extra 10 min?
