Well I got my HID's in the mail on Friday and now that I have some free time I'm going to look into installing my low and fog HID's. Now I want it to be a relatively simple install so I wont be pulling off the front bumper. But my question is does anyone have any idea on where they mounted their Ballasts and relays and all that fancy jazz that comes with the Xtreme kit from XenonDepot.

Pictures would be GREATLY appreciated. Also the positive and ground wires on the hardness, the connectors look very small, are they going to fit on the battery terminal??

Pictures for anything would be awesome. Thanks ya'll.

I mounted my xtreme passeneger ballast on the inside fender. I cleaned the area really well with alcohol and then used the double stick tape provided. I stuck the drivers side to the front of the battery. Never had a problem.

The install is very easy.....connect the bulb to the harness, connect to the ballast, run the power wire to the positive terminal on the battery and the ground to the inside fender oem ground screws.(located about 12" up the fender on the inside) Mount and zip tie everything and you are ready to go.

My question is, can the Xtreme ballasts be put onto metal? I was told with my cheaper HID kits that to not put the ballasts on metal surface because it will ground out and short the ballast.

Now my question is can I put these ballasts on metal? Or should I also stay away from the metal surfaces under the hood?

Just put the HID's in, I'm very happy with them, Very easy install however ALOT of ****in wires ughhhh lol....

Anyways heres some pictures of where I mounted the ballasts and then some pictures at night, sorry I'll take better ones later but I just wanted to show all you.

I mounted all 4 ballasts on the metal support just underneath the grill, drilled 4 holes through the metal and secured the ballasts really well on the metal, I'll have better pictures when I clean the jeep, I just got home from the lake so there is bugs everywhere!!

Alright well today I'm having a problem, I turn my Jeep on and only one of my fog lights turn on, well then I turn off the fogs, then turn them on again and it comes on, now its no big deal, but if this is having to do with a defective bulb thats not good, if ANYONE knows an answer to this let me know.
