Depends how you are going to install them. When I installed my HID lows/fogs I took off the bumper and mounted the ballasts on the reinforcement bar.

For myself I mounted the driver side onto the washer fluid tank and the passanger side on the re-bar. Pretty much any place is good other than the fender lining.

removing the bumper is too much work.. washer fluid is a good idea and the re-bar but do you have regular ballasts or slim?
