Yeh noticed it was behind the bumper reinforcment, suppose if theres no other place to fit them then its the next best area, unless you're involved in a bit of a prang.
Didnt know they were waterproof. Are they deffo water tight or just water resistant?
Water tight, they need to be as they are in the engine bay.
Mine are mounted in the same place as Benn's(thats where i stole the idea from lol )
TBH if I drove into something hard enough to damage the ballast there, the state of the ballast would be the last thing I'd be worried about.Quote:

I stripped mine down, they're sealed and filled with potting compound. The only vulnerable part is the terminals, mine had a poor seal on the plug.Quote:
