My install pics.
Close up of the bolt in the miscellaneous bracket that was just sitting there below the ABS system:
Overview of that mount:
Mount where the stock intake use to be:
Overview of driver side:
Overview of passenger side:
I zip-tied all the cables to existing things so they're not laying around in the eng. bay and create possible fire hazards lol.

LOL nice, i wanna shirt 
Any, no that is not the ABS bolt! The bolt is the gold thing you see in the second pic by the washer container. I took that off with no problem but the bolt is too big for the hole in the ballast bracket. Unless you have a drill and bit to make it bigger it wont work. When you look in that area look at the white grab handle for the ABS wire harness, right under it pointing towards the exhaust manifold was a black bracket and at the end of it there is a screw hole...but there is nothing screwed in there so I don't know why its there but it sure made it easy to mount that thing. You will have to work with it some and push down on the bolt until it starts threading into the hole from the position its at but it is doable! Let me know if you have more questions about it.

i know its late but i finally have some pics up. thanks operatic for the HIDs and amd for the tips here ya go!
i have the stock intake and an alarm there so i kinda had to wing it.. its actually pretty snug there with 2x sided tape...
this is a dark pic but you get the idea, i acually used the ABS bolt to lock it down. and as amd said, you do have to drill to make the hole a little bit bigger to fit.
and of course the distance and "cutoff" shots...
and just for fun...
in all honestly these things are SUPER BRIGHT!!! but i love them still :D. glare isnt too bad i think, but mind you that i am dropped on HTechs on the stock rims. overall and simply... im loving it :D

sooo...I installed my kit last night...I instantly fell in love. But now Im looking for some help. After driving around for a bit and turning the car on and off a few times, one of the bulbs no longer ignites. I tried swapping the bulbs with each other and they both work so its definitely not the bulb. I'm going to try swapping the wiring when I get home tonight, but I definitely think the ballast is shot. Does this sound likely, I mean it just stopped working, and I definitely installed everything correctly because it was working for a while. Any suggestions?

Well before you say the ballast is shot, just look at the fuses. In that jumble of a harness there are two boxes, one is blackish, the other is yellow and looks like there are three sections to it. Each section has a fuze, two of them are the same amp and the other one is a like 3times bigger I think. So like 2x10amp and 1x30amp or something like that, check those fuzes and see if one of them blew first. I would assume that it would be one of the ones of the "2x10amp" group since one works the other doesn't, and both fuses have the same color wires running to them, but I didn't design the harness but it sounds like it may be that.
