I tried to get some pics of where the ballasts are mounted, but you can't see them at all from the engine bay. If anybody wants, I can persuade Cheap Labor to take the fender-liner off so I can snap some decent pics. You can catch just a tiny bit of the blue/red wires going from the ballast to the bulb. All the slack is bundled up inside the fender.
Night Shots! The first night I was test-driving around, the passenger side housing socket (the trapezoid thing with all the pins) worked itself loose, so I was driving around with only the driver-side HID... it was still more light than with both OEM bulbs. I didn't even notice until I got home, and then it was fixed in 5 seconds.
If you see them in person, they're instantly recognizeable as HIDs, but in pictures you really need a "dull" yellow bulb to make them look blue.
This is the passenger-side light:
Maybe I need to find a "placebo" car with regular lights to take a picture with Nubz. All our cars have HIDs.
