Room, what room?

Last night I went and placed the ballasts inside the car and setup the wiring harness. There is no room anywhere in my engine bay!!!

On the drivers side I hid the ballast behind the windshield washer. There was a spare hole that I used to secure the ballast to the side of the car. The other side of the bolt is accessible by taking off the blinker.

The passenger side ballast is hidden underneath the battery. I found a spare hold after taking the battery out. This hole was already threaded so I just screwed into it, very convenient!

Now the wiring harness was very difficult indeed. I searched for about 30 minutes just to find a nice spot for it to sit, couldn't find one. As the wiring harness has a connection to the battery, it could only be located on the passenger side. I figured I could glue it to the relay box or drill into the relay box, but I prefer to use an existing hole. I found a nice snug place next to the battery and ran the cords beside the battery. From the above picture, you can see that I snaked the positive connection around the top of the battery.
The wiring was run between the bumper and the radiator. I used the provided 3 cable ties to hook it to the other side.
