ok i took a few pics of all the ballasts for those of you who are trying to find a decent place to put them. Make sure you have plenty of zip ties!
here is the driver side FOG ballast. There is a bunch of wiring down here and figured it was a good place to zip tie it (hasnt moved since)
a bit further away so you can see the where-abouts. (by the ECM)
here is the driver side HEADLIGHT ballast
here is the passenger side FOG ballast (need to remove the intake)
another
and here is the passenger side HEADLIGHT ballast (with intake removed)
without removed
if anyone has questions ask. and please feel free if you have other or better places. These are by no mean professional but they work, and im always down for better ideas!

Nice job, man. For 12,000K those don't look terribly blue/purple.... Nice!
I didn't use the slim ballasts so it was a little tricky for me to decide where to mount the ballasts...
I stole the pic from Modded's lighting thread... Anyway, I mounted the ballast on the vertical post for the radiator support near the red arrow. I had a ballast saddle so I modified that a little bit and used an existing bolt (pointed up on the bottom side of the radiator support) to mount it. I put some double sided tape on the back of the ballast saddle just for added security. If you know what you're looking for they're visible but it basically looks like it could be OEM equipment.
As for the fog ballasts, I mounted them on a gusset for the frame/bumper mount connection. I did not use saddles for the ballasts on these, though. The gussets sit parallel to the ground so I cleaned them thoroughly, used double sided tape to hold the ballasts down, and then zip tied them down. There was a small gap behind the gusset at the very corner of a connection that allowed me to get the zip tie around the ballast to hold it down. All of the wiring and the ballasts are completely protected and hidden. You'd never know they were there unless you pulled off the wheel well liners or stuck your head up behind the front air dam.

Thanks
yeah i forgot to mention that i used that double sided tape/foam that came in the box (that stuff is strong) but mostly just to keep it from hitting metal, zip ties are what im counting on for them to stay, as the sticky might give after some time...

did you get 35 or 55 watt cause that could be a difference...
