EFX H8/RD LED Quick Mounting Question

What do I do with the ballast? I was thinking of duck taping it to the plastic casing. I just don't want to short the ballast or the adaptive control.

Thanks

i just put it inside the casing but kinda made sure it wasn't in a bad position to disturb the adaptive head of the headlights.

Step 1: squeeze it in there wherever it fits
Step 2: If its hot outside, wait for the codes.
Step 3: Return item.

LOL! BTW how are your MTec lights compared to EFXs? I'm considering switching to maybe RD or maybe MTec.

They are great man...not as pure white as the LEDs obviously but definitely brighter during the day...seems like none of the negatives (price included) of EFXs. They do lose some brightness when the headlights come on but I think this happens to stock too. Ill post some pics in the comparo thread as soon as i get a chance.
