Here is a tip for you. Be creative and use common sense. The ballast gets hot so you dont want to put it near any wires. I see you got a 99 SC. I know sme people who put it behind the grill/slit on the front bumper. Stealthy and Functional.

Well, I don't have a 97+ but I also have it so it is sitting near the front nose area. Much cooler there than mounting them somewhere inside the engine bay.

I've had HIDs in all my cars and love it. you would want to mount them somewhere safe from electrical charge. the ballasts can be very dangerous. they hold a lot of charge. also, think of a place that you can mount them and salvage them incase of a front end accident. i found out the hard way :'(
