for driver side, its behind the headlight housing
passenger side, on the chassis, under the guard.

[JOhnnyFD]

oh righhtt.. so u guys had to take off the front bumper to fit it nicely?

[.k.]

and do you guys secure the ballast with screws or zip ties? contemplating getting some 6k hid now.. still thinking abt it tho, can it be done without taking whole front bar off?

[Wayne]

just install behind the bumper.. there is a space there to screw on.. i think screw on the chassis there... the advantage is.. you can prevent water go in when u wash ur engine.. and hide nicely so no one knows what brand of HID u use.. haha.. =)

hahaha. hmm yeh im actualyl really interested in some HIDs now to get some better visibility, although its not a need atm.. these mtecs serve me fine actually.. although HID would really.. be nice =D

the install seems easy, but as usual... seemingly easy may become frustrating to the shits..

how long it take u guys to install?

[d@vid]

An hour or 2 max.

Very stright forward

Well i did say an hour or 2 MAX. but then i did try to do it the hard way, i was following the instruction from the Honda manual. And work near the wheels wall.
