Idk if the 55w are all still the bigger ballast but it also has a bigger cover to insert into the headlight, that goes around the globe. Instructions say to cut with a 21mm hole saw. No chance I'm doing that..Also its a full loom lol so it goes from battery to drivers side then to passenger side globe. So ud have to wire it away from the radiator etc. Fked if I was doing that..Cut a long story short just rang alex (z-labs eBay guy) n told him the story..he's happy to do an exchange n I'll just be sticking with 35w. Both Dre and tra1nr didn't know what I was on about when I asked if they had the same kind of setup..so I'll stick with the 35w that I know will fit..Will head over weekend after I get licence back then go see henz's brothers fight after lol Mika, u didn't have to drill anything when u installed in the b series?

The cable to the passenger side, I just ran it in that channel above the radiator.I didn't have to cut a 21mm hole in mine to fit them either. I can't remember exactly but I know I cut a little slot somewhere on the side (maybe 5mm) for the loom to hang out. Did the same in the Mrs Fiesta.

Between 5-10mm thick and weigh bugger all.I'm pretty sure the slot was in the head light. I can't remember exactly but the way the globe sat in the headlight, if I didn't cut a little slot then I wouldn't be able to put the covers back on and the head light would be open at the back.I just bought mine off ebay for $50 and haven't had any problems.

So I'm going to order the 10 pack this time and finish it off, also do the numberplate lights, and some interior lights if they fit too.. 1
