I recently received my H4 4300k Xenith Xenon HID headlight kit and would like recommendations on the best location for mounting the ballasts. I was under the impression that most HID kits can be installed without removing the front bumper for the GE's, and figured it would be a fairly straightforward DIY (which it probably is) but I would feel more confident knowing I have them mounted in a place which is known to work best.

The kit does come with some mounting gear for the ballasts, and a a few wire ties, but before I start bending and re-shaping everything I thought I would ask.... The drives side headlight has a great spot to mount it, but again I would have to bend the mounting gear and the ballast would just kind of hang down. Of course the same spot on the passenger side has the windshield washer fluid reservoir in this area so it's a bit more of a challenge.

I have a few quick shots of these areas attached. I haven't contacted the vendor directly about installation, but in stead hope to start some ideas here to share with the group. What may help best is a shot or two of someone's own GE HID kit install, if available....Thanks!

 

doesn't matter where you mount them. just make sure they are secure
when done.

when i did my fogs i double zip tied them down.
they haven't moved since.

 

Please post pics when you're done with the install.

 

I would be most surprised if I'm the first/only one to setup an H4 HID headlight kit on a GE? Hopefully someone out there has experience with this type of installation on a GE and could help share their work? I hope to gather more ideas here for a few days, then I'm sure I'll break down and just start hacking away by late next week...

 

Several people have put HID kits in there GE Fit`s.... Have a look or do a search under the light section and it should pop up a few hits... They look pretty bad A$$ on the GE`s!. . ...

 

Thanks! I found a lot of info for the GD over there, but not much for our GE's. I may start a GE thread in the lighting section if that would help.

 

Here is a link for you... look for the User name strmslvrfit he has them installed and PM him.. he might be able to help ya` out with the mounting locations your looking for.... Looks like you posted in this thread too..

I PM'd him, thanks for lookin' out!! Yep, I posted there as well...I am anxious to get them installed, but at the same time would like to get all the answers documented on here for others to use...

 

No problem.. glad I could help..

 

here are some pics of my install, i just used the double sided sticky tape that came with my HID kit and zip tied the wires out of the way.

 

Thanks a lot!!!! Repped!

one final question. did you have to remove the bumper or not????

Look on the upper right hand side of the post in the forums, to rep someone click the icon to the left of the red triangle. It looks like this:

I have some but I didnt do it, I can take pictures if you want of the mount...

 

That would be most helpful, thanks!!

 

I'm meeting a friend at his shop tomorrow morning to complete the install. I'll take pics and post them as soon as possible.

 

Pics as promised!! Any questions, shoot!
