Used the rear bolts of the radiator bracket. Bent the strap down like an "L." Now the ballasts hang super secure far away from any possible rain drips or vibration. Plus, the radiator fan keeps the temperature around them stable.

I strapped it on a hole available on the bumper bar and used 3m double adhesive tape. It's been there for over a year now and still no sign of falling off.
