Inside the fender where u have it runs right by the abs sensor wire,try the center as close to the grill opening as possible.that's where my coupe ones are.

Agreed When you look straight on at my car you can just barely see the Ballast on either side of the pony.

My headlight HID ballasts are under the airfilter and next to the battery, they don't trow an ABS light. The fog ballast do, they're at the back of the headlight panel.

so I guess it would be wise to check my cars locations before I make them perminant and pull off the tape. Maybe a little masking tape to hold them temporarily until I am sure everything is ok.

Yeah, thats probably a good idea. Although mine never caused any problems until a while later and I've never changed their location! I'm calling DDM some time this week and am going to try theirs out.

here's where i mounted mine as well. (roughly same location as Win)

i havent had any problems with them there... i was hesitant with the air-bag sensors there. but no light, so i guess they are okay.

Yep identical yours just sit a little lower then mine. I haven't had a single problem with them there. This is also through 2 snowy winters also.

yea, we tried to hide mine best we can.... notice the 3rd part of the kit is hidden by the hood un-latch assembly? ;-)

sounds like we need to move them as far towards the middle as we can. Thanks for the pics.

I think so. my headlight ones are pretty far wide but the fog light ones are towards the middle on mine I thought. Idk.

if you unplug them and run OEM lights, will the light turn on? maybe you really do have an ABS problem. lol.
