hey charles... i was in the garage for like 20 minutes just now trying to figure out where in the world to mount the ballasts. I have NO IDEA! Can you take pictures and show me where u mounted urs? There's so little room to work with under the hood for the LS .

I was thinking behind the bumper... but then water might get to them. Plus I would have a heckuva time trying to drill into the bumper. Lemme know so i can hopefully finish by this weekend. thanks!

See if this link helps for ideas.

Man, I hope they're not THAT blue...that looks COMPLETELY RICE...looks like those cheap blue coated HID wannabe bulbs (just brighter!)

How's the beam pattern against a wall with your reflector setup? Does it have a clean cutoff like or is the light scattered? How about the ground coverage...do you have dark spots? Love to see some mroe photos...

BHC

sorry likecars, that link doesnt help...i'm askin cutecboy because he has an LS and i wanna know the exact locations where he mounted the ballasts...thanks for your reply tho

Likecars

OK, from the looks of the SC the battery location is the same, figured you might get the ballast next to the battery like he did.

cutecboy

it does not look ricer at all in person.. lol to my opinion it looks better then the pics you have posted for ur sc.. the color is really nice.. its like the new m5 just a little more brighter.. ground coverage is amazing.. i can't have more pics cuz obviously you can see the pic is not comming out like it suppose to but everything is great..!!!

i guess you didnt see my post above or something...but here it is again:

Please post a photo of each side of the engine bay behind the headlights for me...let me see if I can find you guys a spot...

cutecboy - Much like your pictures, the pictures I took don't do the lights justice...did you see the photo where I let the camera do all the adjustments automatically? THAT'S closer to what it looks like...you also have to remember, the SC has projector lens which really affect the light...

I'm getting a 6000K bulb from AutoLamps to test it out...

Also, when you say it looks like a M5, do you mean what the light looks like from INSIDE the car? That's what's important!

cutecboy

yeah it really looks bright from the inside of the car.. totally amazing... i see so much.. my god i am so satisfied.. anyway
i mount the one on the left i think on top of the antilock break assm.. behind the fan.. the right i basically put it inside by the windsheild fluid reservor..

that's about it,, let me know if you need anymore help
