If it is plug n play, its pretty much self explanitory.

i dont know where i can mount the ballasts and did you guys use the black thing to hold it or did you guys just use double sided tape?

it depends on what ballast you have ??? if its slimline denso you mount underneath the headlight itself or on the body behind the headlight pocket. caveman74 / izzy is who mounted it this way. if you have hella gen 3 you might be able to mount in the same fashion or underneath the headlight on the body/frame support rails...sickyute is who mounted it this way. if you have matushita gen 2 they should be able mount like denso slimline...do a search for either of the members and you'll see some pics...I'm doing a retro on my headlights and am i going to mount them on the body somehow prolly like caveman's way...now i have to get to the task of making my custom wiring harness first though:) hopes this helps you out a little...

You can mount the ballast right above where the air bag sensor is behind the headlights. The is a small perch with a whole already there. I placed mine there with the ballast holders that came with my kit.

Take the bumper off to make it 1297349234 times easier.

If you really need help, I can help you out.

I just used double sided tape, and then adhesive foam tape to reduce vibration to the ballasts. I mounted the passenger side ballast right under/behind the high beam socket, theres a flat metal part of the chassis. the driverside ballast i mounted vertically right in front of the battery, to the right of the coolant resevoir. laTEs.
