What's a ballast? I mounted the hi/low control under the battery, and the ignitor/inverter around it. The other ignitor/inverter pair can be put under the headlight for the drivers side. Just put foam so they don't rattle on the metal frame.

Oh yeah, those are the inverters. Ignitors are the smaller ones, but I don't see em there. So it is possible to hide everything and make it look like there's no HID under the hood.

I would stay around 4k for the color temp so cops don't bother you.It's gonna be pure white color like the pic I posted. Only way to get the blue is with the projector housing and retrofit. It won't look like the factory hid on some cars. You could just get blue bulbs (6k or higher), but cops don't like it, and it's harder to see at night compared to the 4k ones.

Mine are 4300k... White

There is color from far away because of the 'sheild' inside the valeo projector that i put into the tyc. Anything above the headlights is glare free... Then when you start to go below, you will see blue, purple, green, yellow, orange... Then below the color is all white

yes... Green, I had a friend drive it at night and depending on what angle the car is at you will see a greenish yellow ^_^
