How did you wire/mount/install your HID kit?

I am looking for input on where you mounted the ballasts and where you hid all the wires. I found 2 old threads showing the ballast locations but I would like to do something a bit different.. I may even make a bracket that screws into the headlight and have the ballasts mounted right on the back of the headlights.

Also, the ballasts have thick wires that need to be ran to the bulbs.. How are you getting the wires into the headlight for this.. I considered drilling a hole into the back of the circular "lid" that screws into the back of the headlight but I would like to find a better way. I also considered trying to get the wires into the headlight through the stock hole, but that doesn't seem to work.

I can't really remember how I wired them but, I have one under the fuse box by the stock air box. The left side is mounted on the frame by the AC hoses. Kinda wierd but I'll take pix to help you better.

A hole was cut on the bottom side of the headlight housing, not only was it to mount the matsushita ballast, but it was has the wires running through it to the bulb. So all the wires are inside the housing. Only wires on the exterior are to power the ballast from an external relay.

Just to point out, this was done on an Avenger headlight housing. The eclipse housings are different. I'm showing you mine to give you an idea.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.. By "wire", I really just meant where did you run all the wires if you used a relay like I am going to. I know AZDAVE has mentioned in other threads that a relay is not needed in a 2g due to there already being a stock relay but my kit came with one so I plan to use it. I think the trickiest part is going to be figuring out how to run the wires from the ballasts into the headlights.

Mine did not come with a relay. Just plugged into the stock harness then grounded it out to the highbeams.
