If you end up putting it on the bottom side of the lens, I personally would not trust the velcro.
I would use four dabs in each corner of the ballast of Marine goop or 3m 5200 great stuff and easy to remove the ballast if needed.
I use it in my Carbon/Glass sailplanes with full size servos and they stay put going over 200 mph

i say bottom of the ballast
EDIT: well you have a v8 so im assuming theres no play room under the hood. where at the v6 theres plenty of room up front so i mounted it with nuts and washers. kinda ghetto but gets the job done. ive had HID for like 3 years now, various brands but i havent had a problem. i'll snap an iphone photo in the morning.

I will try and arrange a group buy with the seller before he posts on ebay for the general public. I was told he had a shipment coming in, but those are reserved for his distributors.
Don't worry, I will let everyone know when it's ready for a group buy.
I have my fingers crossed, hopefully no problems. I will also take my car to the car wash and see how the xenon lights function afterwards, see if there's any moisture or if it fogs up.

Ahmadk, looks like your car already has factory xenons, are you looking to upgrade or downgrade? I think the factory xenons look more "normal". Lol

As promised, a little treat for the eyes. I will post more quality pix when I have time. I'm loving it!
I also love not seeing the bumper front plate bracket screw holes. Much much cleaner.

Our CLK's were not designed to have a front plate. Im still pissed off the stupid dealer drilled the screws directly onto the bumper. I could have saved myself $500 if it didn't have the 4 holes.
Those of you that don't have the screw holes, think of it as getting the aftermarket lights for free. Lucky you.

Ludwig,
Are you setting up the group buy with Simon? Let's get a tally of how many are interested in a group buy.

Before Pix
Notice the ugly screw holes and halogen lights.....small things that make a big difference.
