you can put it anywhere,


but normally people would put it behind the bumper to hide it.

have them in the fender. More work but cleaner install. Guide (http://www.torontocivics.com/articles/lights/lights.html)

When I had an EK I mounted mine on the back side of peice #4 in the illustration below.

agree with all above.

FYI.. police check for these. Most factory HIDs are setup similarly but have an ADR approval sticker of sorts regardless hidden/visible

Might I add, plug and play for the loss (FTL)! Retro fit is the only way to do HID right!
