I would like to know the same.

If someone can snap a few pics of their locations on their car it would help a ton!

Driver side is "under" the headlight, tie-wraped on frame.
Sorry, no picture of this one.

Hope that will help you guys !

^^pretty much where i put mine too

That side is crowed for me... CIA and thats where my W/I pump is... but it isn't a very big box...

My only advise for mounting HID box is RUBBER MOUNTS... especially with solid motor mounts. The vibrations destroy these boxes.

I don't think I did...mine isn't so far back though...I cleaned the panel then stock it on there w/ 3m 2-sided tape

I just took the head light out...I think

Why not? It takes all of 5 min to remove.

Well this might be bad news for me. No BS, VERY VERY solid trani & Motor mounts and an Unsprung 6 puck

Vibrations? What Vibrations?

When I first put my solid mounts in...I started it up and everything inside the car was shaking...needless to say...I no longer keep stuff in the cup holders

If you want your ballasts to last I really recomend getting some rubber and remounting! Nothing like having to go back to normal headlights while you wait/pay for new ballasts to come in.

I had HID's in my truck (comp stereo, 151+ DB's) and I went though alot of boxes until I rubber mounted them... My neon don't vibrate near the level of the truck, but I would still do it for longevity.
