Default HID help!

I ordered a set of HIDs with ballasts and everything. It didnt come with directions and i have no idea how to hook up the ballasts. My friends think we have to drill to hold the ballasts in place but I hope that we dont. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

some kits come with mounts some dont. I just used zip ties and strapped them to the core support. Also I think it is a good Idea to mount them where they can get some air flow to keep cool.

Just be careful not to mount it anywhere that it could melt something, ballasts do get hot sometimes
