Factory HID ballasts - removal?

Actually two questions - first. I want to fully remove the factory ballasts from behind the bumper. I found the bracket the divides the two ballasts and the nut and bolt for the bracket. I can't find any other mount point that would be keeping them attached. What am I missing so I can fully remove them?

Second - I just installed aftermarket HIDs since the driver bulb was shot. Thanks Sierra3!:thumbsup: The kit connects straight to the factory harness for the ballast power source for left and right. Lights come on just fine. No hiccups when driving. Time delay works as advertised. But if I leave them in auto lamp mode, when I restart the car later I get the "check headlights" message in the message center. I check them and they aren't on. Is there something else I need to add to regain the autolamp feature? Or is this one feature I sacrifice in order to get my lights working again?
