Everytime I see a thread about Ballast I automatically think it's to do with the ballast they put in BTCC cars to even things up!

Did these after market ballast fit in the same place as the oem ballasts?

it does but its not oem fit, you probably have to use a cable tie or two to secure them. apart from that they are a fraction of the price and cause no errors.

 

[chiefpulsar]

thanks for the quick response! did you secure them under the headlight? i.e where the oem sit?

yeah they are in the same position as oem but the ballasts are smaller than OEM hence the cable ties. lol good luck

Works out at £30 delivered. Takes 2-3 weeks but cheapest I have found online.

I have one on the way. The pictures are absolutely identical.

As soon as I get these I will compare and fit then let you guys know.

 

[Rob R]

Yeah they do look identical I must say. Here's hoping they fit and work ok
