Default Where the f*#k do these things go!?

Okay, so I have some 02 STi HID JDM headlights.

They come with ballasts, attached to brackets. Looks exactly like this (no, thats not my carpet.. I ripped the picture from Google Images)



My question is.. WHERE THE F*@K DO THESE BRACKETS ATTACH TO?? I've been trying to work it out for AGES, and they don't seem to fit anywhere!

Cheers

I'm also assuming there are no english identifiers you can try google up on?

Alternately posting the tags of your existing ones may help in getting them translated?

Otherwise don't know.

I think I have seen a picture somewhere showing them mounted just below where the headlights sit can't help you with the link Joe as I killed my laptop and I don't have the bookmarks with my research as they are all on my dead laptop

That is a good place to put them, but I'd love to use the factory brackets.. just had a look under there, I cannot find a place where they would slot in.

Hmm I wonder if Russ or Graham might know where they go, seeing as their vehicles have these fitted as standard.

they mount to the front bumper reinforcement (support), possibly only to a jdm spec (lightweight) one.

try the importers for a bugeye bar reo.
