no...on zam's pic, the ballast/fan is on the bottom. note on the opposite side
the fastener which secures to the car frame up on top. neat that you two are
finally getting to hook up. it will save you lots of head scratching and
you'll have someone seeing it close up.

if you didn't electrocute yourself..... all I did was connect bulb to ballast and tapped the two incoming wires to a motorcycle battery. click....buzz....flame on. i determined the items functional and removed the two wires.

no i was ok, i actually wired them up this past weekend....hard to tell how i'm going to adjust them since i don;t have the car but i told huy about how one of the lights turned redish but i think it could have been the fact that the light couldn't warm up since i couldn't keept it on for too long before it would get disconected.....but huy said it could be a old bulb but we'll see.....
