Thanks guys for comments. I don't know if I am or not blinding people in front but no complains so far =D. I got my ballast mounted near the strut mount for the passenger side. Which was the easiest to do. As for the driver side no space at ALL. So, I mounted it behind but away from the radiator. The driver side was really a pain to have a clean setup. I was going to mount them all on the crash bar. But I felt that those adhesive tapes aren't too trustworthy at the same time there isn't any room to zip tie them so that was how I did it.

now for the LED polarg city lights, do i need to do any wiring? because from my understanding, the city lights run at 50% output right? which automatically means whatever bulb i put in there its output is going to be yellowish???

sigh no just plug the new city light in....city lights dont run at 50% anything....thats the DRL'S (daytime running lights) its your high beams running at i think half output or something like that but its not your city lights...

city lights are different,this is your city light....the little bulb on bottom of headlight. i have these after jackson recommended them

City Light
Fires into the housing, giving a full illumination without a hot spot.

To match your 8000k HIDS. I think V-LEDS have the best ones. Go to www.v-leds.com to get them. Look up 194 type.
