HID mounting spot - Honda Prelude Forum

RawrH22 · 03-10-2011, 02:17 PM

Hey guys, I need some advice on where to mount my HID ballasts. I can't find a spot to mount them anywhere since the engine bay is so cluttered. I have an H22 if that helps.

Thanks

Strapped to the bumper support. Should be room on a 4th gen to mount them like I did on my 5th gen.

Oh, alright cool. That's where I ended up putting them (bumper support). Only problem now is they won't light up =.=;;

Use a relay harness?

Yeah, getting one off ebay. Hopefully that solves the problem. Looks like you're running one also?

Yes. It was only ~$5 on ebay, made the install much easier.

I put one of my ballast on the suspension "hump", right behind the hole where most people put their CAI. Mine is behind my intercooler piping. and the other, I unbolted my cruise control unit and 3M'd the ballast under the CC, then put CC back.

Sorry for the thread jack. Do you have the seller's name from where you got your relays? I have installed HIDs on newer cars that never required relays but now that I have my lude, I don't know how to go about which ones to get and how to install them. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if it's the same seller, but this is the harness I used for my fogs:
