the ballast should sit as far away from any sources of heat. the best play is up and under the fenders just have a look at eds car or mine. that is metioned in the instructions. you driver side is good but the passenger side will get hot and probally when summer hits on a hot night, could possibly melt down on you and damage some of you light housing. you should move there is more than enough wire

Thanks for the comments..
In the pics, the ballasts look like they are touching or even underneath the headlights.. In reality, they are not near the headlights. There is a good 5 inches in between them. Also I touched the ballasts after the HIDs were on and they were warm that's it. Even if they did get hot, there is no way it can melt the housing with 5 inches of space in between.. Appreciate the advice though.
