Default re: HID Install Lows and Fogs with Pictures

I'm bringing this back to life-kinda'.

Yesterday I installed HID foglights, matching the color temperature of the low beams (4300K) I wrote this thread about last month.

I also have "White" inverted-cone LED's installed in the parking lamps and clear side-marker lamps. This makes the entire front end white with a touch (the LED's) blue. Stealth (mirrored) bulbs for both the front and rear turn signals rounds it out. I really like the effect.
What I thought was going to be a slick "stacked" set of ballasts was not to be. The cables wouldn't reach, and I left my cable stretcher at the lab. I ended up opening the wheel shrouds (after removing the tires) and working from there. I used existing holes in the framework with stainless hardware to attach the ballast brackets.
A little more work, but it looks OK to me. Pictures follow:
