Just aquired a '98 2.8 turbo. Am upgrading headlights to 35W HID. I've already realised, with my fat fingers, I will probably have to remove the headlights to insert the HID bulbs. Its pretty busy in the engine bay so does anyone have ideas where I should mount the ballasts?

Hi Noddy and welcome to the forum, Just to give you a heads up
you'll find the HID too hot for the Plastic Nissan reflector, it will flake off.
I did it to mine thats how I found out,.
If you still want to do it the globes just click in from behind no need to remove them.
I just cable tied the ballast to any loom I could find. Remember a new headlight
will set you back $300 od
In the meantime jump in anytime and most of all enjoy
