Default need help with HID kit install on 6th gen accord

People with 6th generation Accords and a HID kit please help. I have a set of Bosch 9006 HID and do not know where to place the ballasts. Where did you place the ballasts in your engine bay or where would you recommend? Pictures would be helpful. Thanks in advanced!

Thank you for your help!

One more thing - I need to replace my OEM self-cleared headlight housing. Would you recommend the OEM housing or the aftermarket ones? I like the aftermarket chrome ones but I’m afraid that the light output will not be as bright as the OEM ones. What is your take?

I'm the first Accord ever to get the BMW 5 series HID projectors on my Accord. And let say that the difference between HID projectors and HID in a halogen housing is like the difference when you upgrade to HID from halogen. :thumbup:

stretching the truth a bit aren't we? oh wait, sounds more like an opinion here.

haha..... must be an ecode thing then? j/k. the photo was taken i'd say ~75-100 ft. away from the car at 4sec under very light fog. i can pretty much duplicate it at will even w/o fog. dunno what to say... sorry buddy.
