    Hey everyone, :)

    So im installing HID's (6000k)
    Iv decided to secure the balasts under the nose panel,
    perfect fit, all well and good except the cables are not long enough ! :mad:

    Has anyone had this problem before ?
    I have been looking around and cannot find extensions,
    i believe 2 cables are needed for each ballast.

    Does anyone have any furthur knowledge on this subject ?

    Yes, I mounted mine on top of the FMIC support rail in the Yellow Z.
    I actually made up my own cables though.

    They have to be very well insulated, as the start up voltage is very high.

    Mounting the ballast in the engine bay looks untidy, and the heat will lower their lifespan.

    No need

    for extensions leeds, easy access through the nose panel if anything goes wrong to.

    You don't need extensions. Just lift nose panel , face plugs to radiator and then screw to the side plates that run the same angle as nose panel and head lights.
