When Installing the HID ballast do I have to screw it in too or will the double sided plaster tape that comes with it hold it up by itself? Because I'd Rather just tape it. Because I dont know how to put the screws. Wont it come out through the other side. |  |  | | 02-19-2007, 11:00 PM | #2 | | doesn't care about you.

Yes, the screws will likely come through the other side of whatever you screw into... __________________

The tape is good stuff, just make sure you clean the area of bodywork your gonna stick to with some white spirit or similar. I used no more nails double sided tape and it stuck, good. | | | | | 02-22-2007, 07:04 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: dorchester Posts: 700 |

Yeah mount them inside the bumper on top of the bumper support. The metal piece that connects to the frame rails. Its level and you can mount them with just a couple strips of double-sided tape. Thats plenty enough support for them and its the best spot to hide them away. __________________
