Default Mounting Ballast for HID Fogs?

Hey Guys,
I just got some 6000K HID's for the low beams and some 3000K for the fog lights. I did a search and found some places to mount the ballast for the low means, but does anyone know where I can mount the ballast for the fogs?

I have mine attached with zip ties to random places but I am also looking for a better place. Also not meaning to steal your thread, but what did you all do about the harness and not being able to seal the back of the housing like with the stock bulbs. WIth my kit now there is too many wires.

No prob. I just got the kits in the mail today. I have to take my headlights off and clean/reseal them first. I'll let you know how I manage the wires after I get everything cleaned up and installed. Anyone else have any good ideas or do's/don'ts?

Ive got mine in random places also. You have alot more room to work with if you are not running the stock air box. Ive got the lows mounted where the box used to be and right beside the battery. The fogs are mounted on the upper reinforcement behind the crash bar.

i mounted mine on the metal bumper support.. that gap where your radiator overflow is, just reach your hand down there you can see it and it's easy to reach.. i mounted mine on there with 3m..

Sorry for another dumb question but do you have to take off the front bumper to access the upper reinforcement behind the crash bar?

nah man, i'll take a picture of how i have mine mounted on there later today..

i have my low beams on there toward the middle you can see and reach it easily just look in the gap in front of your radiator..

then i have it on the same metal crash bar for my fogs, except with the fogs i reached it by taking a few bolts out of my front wheel fender lining and reaching it that way.. or on my 97+ front bumper using the holes next to the foglights.. i'll take pics
