there was more then enough room right behind the foglight so i used double sided tape and stuck the cancellor on to the ballast, and ziptied them and stuck the ballast on to some plastic wall on the drivers side im not exactly sure what it is but i know that if it falls it wont get lost because of the bottom cover, on the right side i stuck it to the ground. the only real concern i have is if the ballast gets too hot and burns up the cancellor but ill be sure to check it. and i think i may have to go back and tape up some stuff to protect it from rain.

Tine will tell i guess but I wonder whether the fog light casing isnt too small causing overheating or melting of the housing?

i wouldn't stick the ballast and cancelers together it will melt during long drives at night n summer is here very humid in the east coast.

They look great Kevin. How'd the install go? Was it relatively painless or a bit tedious? (Drilling and such)

chicken i could have sworn i answered this before o.O idk i think im going crazy lol. taking the bumper off was a little pain but relatively easy, the grill was so easy to come off i want to paint it lol. the hardest part was pretty much getting the bulbs in properly. go to the DIY thread, and get the DIY's for grill removal, bumper removal, and HID fogs and you'll be set!

It wasn't in this thread I think. Couldn't remember where you said it but I'm sure you did post where you get the DIYs from and stuffs.

Kevin, I made the wrong order for my o-nex kit. What i ordered was the single lamp which cost like $99. The sales department was kind enough to email me to let me know my order was wrong. I'm still debating whether I should get the whole kit as its really a lil bit more pricey compared to DDM. At $200, I thinking I could top up a little more for a M-tec kit.

well honestly i didnt do too much research with the HIDs, i went straight for DDM because my friend has them and they look amazing, and im more than satisfied with what i have. i just got in from and its night time, i was driving around with just the fogs and the eyelids ( cant wait to upgrade those). whats so better about M-Tec? why not just save a couple of bucks and go with DDM, and u can use that to save up for a different mod... anything you do GOOD LUCK !

Sometimes too much research doesn't mean its a good thing. Lol. For the M-Tec kit I think you wouldn't need to drill holes onto your dust cap. Everything is provided and hence its more OEM. But who cares about the OEM look when everything is inside. What matter to me is the light output anyway. Yea I'll wait for the refund from O-nex and proceed with the DDM kit order. Oh yea did you get the wiring harness when you purchased the DDM kit? Thanks yo.
