It comes with double sided tape, but it doesnt work too well. Mine are currently zip tied, but there are places for screws. So idealy screw them in, if not zip tie and it will be fine.

Pick a location were there will be the least amount of movement of the ballast...And zip ties work well. As for the relay,you can leave it untangled like me,or zip tie all the wires neatly on each side.

Yeah... the double sided tape seems VERY sticky when you first put it on and then the nixt time you open your hood, there are you ballasts dangling.

One of mine is sandwiched wetween the fender and the airbox and the other one is ziptied to the windshield fluid bottle because its cold and I'm lazy...

One of my lights didnt turn on last night and I was going nuts... flciked 'em of and back on and we're all good. phew!

yeah you kinda have to know exactly what you are looking for, and be a bit of a LED nerd.
