DIY HID in 1.7EL

Hey any informations about DIY HID in our car? Where is the best place inside engine bay for mounting those stuffs? I'm going to get a brightstar HID soon so any inputs are appreciated.

You can get a few ideas in the lighting section of this site. Mine are just haphazardly zip-tied around the engine bay right now, but eventually I'm going to remove the bumper so I can put the ballast and ignitor under the headlight housings.

Hey Telly, did you change the headlight fuse to 20A as the instruction said? And the high beam bulb supposes to be outter or inner(Don't know which one is L and R)?

Yes I did change the fuse. The high beam is on the same spot on each bulb, I think it's to the right of each.....
