Globe size is 9005. On a standard halogen bulb, it will say 900X (my one did anyway), which means it could be either 9005 or 9006. 9006 is slightly larger where the O-Ring is. I originally picked up a set of 9006 and tried to put it in cause there were no specifics on the assembly or the bulb itself. Didn't fit and the guy I bought it from was a local ebay seller so I zipped back over and he was very helpful in getting the right ones.

Also you might find that the bulb won't be a straight twist and lock since the tabs on the bulb may be larger than the grove. I just removed the 3 screws that holds the locking plate that locks the bulb in, slipped the HID bulb through and re screwed it. perfect fitment.

May i ask who did you use? And what are you using to replace the low beam standard ones you got with them?

Cheers

Hey man, I used these guys:

http://stores.ebay.c...t-current/HID-/

Low beam: 55W Ballast, H1 8000K HID Bulb

High Beam: 55W Ballast, 9005 8000K HID Bulb

They have some cordless and corded HID ballast. I suggest if your grabing both and you want to mount it where the stock ballast would have been, get the corded one for low beam and cordless one for high beam. If you use cordless on low beam and mount it under the headlight assembly, you will find that the wires will be barely long enough.

Also if you want to buy from that guy, PM the seller, ask for "Tom", he takes care of the aussie/Sydney side of the business and let him know that Ricky referred you and that you have the same car. He will set you up and will know exactly what to give you.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
