its pretty easy if you got the plug n play ones.....as for mounting ballasts, mount em wherever you want as long as the wires still reach the bulb. i hid mine the best i could.

You should secure them! Even when you drive the car bounces up and down and the balst might shake and make the wires shake aswell, this might make your lights flicker. You wont see it but when oncoming motorists look at your car the light is not steady but appears to be flickering like the bulb is loose! And It could blind them!
