HID Kit Install: Where to mount relay

I'm going to be installing an HID kit on my evo, and I'm wondering where I could install the relay. There really isn't a lot of room any where to mount it. I was thinking about using mounting to tape to mount it to the fuse box by the battery.

It has to mounted the mounting hole point up to avoid moisture.

Anyone have any ideas? This is what it looks like:

You can mount them anywhere dude and you don't have to worry about moisture. Those are waterproof relays which are sealed. I would just mount them somewhere where they are easily accessible that way if a relay goes, you can easily swap it out. But it's really unlikely the resistor will go bad, just saying.

Honestly the real problem was I couldn't find anywhere good to mount it. I ended up mounting it to the fuse box with mounting tap, but if I ever need to access the fuse box I will have to remove the relay to access it

Caesar from Lightwerkz told me to mount it facing up to avoid moisture so those were the directions I was going off.

Yeah, I've mounted them on the fuse box with 3m tape before as well. Just a pita if you need to get to the fuse box because you have to remount it every time lol. But yeah, that works dude.

I'll probably take a picture so I'm not the a-hole OP that doesn't come back to answer the question when he figured it out himself

I love the HIDs btw
