I bought a 4300K HID kit from a local retail distributor (Speedstar in Markham - http://www.speedstar.ca/) for $280 cash.

These are primarily available from http://xtremehid.com

- Can't wait to install it once this -15 degree weather and crazy snow storms calm down!!

Instead of screwing into the wheel well cover like some of you have done, I used the 2 curved pieces of the frame that are just inside the cover (I hope you guys know what I am talking about).

This was my mounting method...

I used the double-sided tape first, then ran three really long twist-ties through the three holes on the ballast.

Then I wrapped those around the frame but didn't tighten them all the way.

Then I used about 4 huge zip-ties around the whole ballast and frame together and tightened them fully.

Then I went back and tightened the twist-ties.

(I did pretty much the same for the ignitors, except that it didn't have screw holes so I just had to zip-tie them alot.)

Just wanted to share another option instead of drilling.
