Hope this helps,
I mounted my left one where the ABS unit is suppose to be. And the right one on the side of the battery enclosure. Gives it a clean look. Used double-sided tape to hold them on. Here's the pics if you didnt understand a word i said hahaha

*edit i've made the images smaller. -R

um, the "H1" is a bulb size, H1 is like for projectors the ballasts dont really have sizes there all pretty much the exact same size and shape. and you cant/should not mod a reg bulb (ex a 9005 bulb) to fit in place of an H1 bulb.

oh wow we can use HID's on our OEM headlights? i thought people needed projectors for HID's since it has something to do with the light/beam pattern? shrugs
well putting them in projectors is much much better, the lenses on them cut off the light and focus it on the road and below fellow drives eyes, putting them in stock housing wile it works fine, can be a little bright for oncoming traffic and your not getting the full affect of the light since its just kinda sent out everywere.
