GE HID Installation

GE HID Installation
I recently received my H4 4300k Xenith Xenon HID headlight kit and would like recommendations on the best location for mounting the ballasts. I was under the impression that most HID kits can be installed without removing the front bumper for the GE's, and figured it would be a fairly straightforward DIY (which it probably is) but I would feel more confident knowing I have them mounted in a place which is known to work best.
The kit does come with some mounting gear for the ballasts, and a a few wire ties, but before I start bending and re-shaping everything I thought I would ask.... The drives side headlight has a great spot to mount it, but again I would have to bend the mounting gear and the ballast would just kind of hang down. Of course the same spot on the passenger side has the windshield washer fluid reservoir in this area so it's a bit more of a challenge.
I have a few quick shots of these areas attached. I haven't contacted the vendor directly about installation, but in stead hope to start some ideas here to share with the group. What may help best is a shot or two of someone's own GE HID kit install, if available....Thanks!

I would be most surprised if I'm the first/only one to setup an H4 HID headlight kit on a GE? Hopefully someone out there has experience with this type of installation on a GE and could help share their work? I hope to gather more ideas here for a few days, then I'm sure I'll break down and just start hacking away by late next week...

Several people have put HID kits in there GE Fit`s.... Have a look or do a search under the light section and it should pop up a few hits... They look pretty bad A$$ on the GE`s!. . ...

Thanks! I found a lot of info for the GD over there, but not much for our GE's. I may start a GE thread in the lighting section if that would help.
