Im not sure how big it is, but when I had strobe lights I mounted it on the side of the battery. It stays hidden from view that way too.

I drilled a hole in the black crossmember at the bottom of the engine bay directly below the battery. I can post a picture when I get home if you want to see.

Ok....Here ya go. Bare with me, the pics are kinda dark and there's alot of stuff in the way.
The red arrow is pointing to the location of the streetglow transformer.
When you're facing your car (from the front) with the hood open.
Look straight below the battery and you'll see an area flat enough to mount the transformer. That's where I mounted mine.

This is the best pic I could get of the transformer.
My intake runs right above it, but you can see the edge and the spot where it's screwed in.
And yes, I only used 1 screw to begin with, so I'm not missing one.


And if you drop your car, don't do like me and drive like a maniac or you'll have problems like this...

Atleast you still have a tube left!!!!

I was going up a hill too fast, and I didn't notice it but the "hill" was a speed bump kinda thing in a residential area, well I was going about 30-40 down the road and I got airborn, front end slammed down and SMACK!!!!!!

I went back to see if I could salvage anything...nothing except for shattered glass everywhere....
