HID retro question: Safe place for the ballasts?

[VXCL]

i def would not trust any tape, you wont know its loose until its banging around, mount them with hardware or if the shape of them allows zip tie them.

 

i would not zip tie rectangular ballasts. they could slip out or loosen slightly over time and then slip. that is really only best with the odd shape more exotic types, especially those meant to be inside or half inside the headlamp. these also require being sealed up properly.

 

the sealed types you guys are using (kioto) in the above pics are made to be outside the lamps and just require you mount them securely. i would still cover them with a layer or two of good duct tape. they dont wear well which is why oem manufactures have been moving them inside or partially inside headlamps.

 

the most reliable tank built ballasts out there are the older hella gen 3. extremely retro friendly and qaulity stuff.
