you just have to fiddle with it until it locks in place, i was worried about the same problem, but it won't harm it.

check the Euro-spec headlight thread, I asked one member to post a pic of his HID - Euro-spec Light combo.
and there is a destintive beam going off liek this \ which is not good.
If someone posts a pic of a DOT-spec headlight and the HID under the same conditions u can tell how much glare they produce
(white wall, one headlight covered)

I realize this thread is pretty dead already, but I have a question. My ballasts are different from the ones in the pictures. My ballasts have no brackets (just small mounting holes), and are smaller. Where would you suggest mounting them. Right now, I have them under my headlights, but the headlights don't seem to lock in place and seem to be pointing up.

I would recommend taping them to the headlight support panel (or header panel). It's the plastic thing that the headlights mount on to.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will have to try some over the weekend. Hopefully the wiring will reach the fender bracket. Otherwise, I may use the header panel.

The wiring fits... just requires a bit of wiggling to get it tucked under the headlight "pkug" that locka the light to the header panel... hope that makes sense!!
