Default where to place the ballast

since the IS350 has limited space under the hood...where can i place my aftermarket ballast for my low beams... because my last pair i had were just sitting in place not strapped down, maybe thats why it stopped working?? so if any has some photos or suggestions where i can attach my ballast it would be great...

I'll take some pics for you when I look at Passnu2's 350 hood space. On the 250, I fastened the ballasts securely with zip ties inder the control module on the driverside and next to the vehicle main ground on the passenger side. Only problem, you will obtain static with the radio do the the non-shielded ballast when ignited.
