I mounted one of mine to the side of the engine bay, just back past the CAI. And the other I mounted to the side of the battery. When I get some quality HIDs I'll mount them a little more discretely.

Drilled them. Its pretty hard to drill through the rad support.
The ballasts are sitting on some metal plating from lowes that I bent into an L.
