I installed mine this afternoon without taking off the bar.

My ballasts are cable-tied in place - aren't moving around at all though.

I'll put up some pics later if you like

We've basically got the bar off now anyways, So we might redo the air filter intake while we're here :) haha

You can access the globe from right behind the headlight housing - just twist to remove.

Now you've taken it off may as well keep going :lol:

haha yeh i realised once I got the bar off.. oh well, it was a learning experience :P
I've also completely removed my whole stock air intake system and I'm going to replace it with a pod tomorrow.
Are they easy to put on? (I hope so..)
Which pod should I be putting in?
Ben do you know anywhere good in the blacktown area (I'm about to google it), just wondering if you knew anywhere good? (As in somewhere a touch better than supercheap?)
And after I install a pod, I'm going to box it in a couple weeks once uni is finished and I have more spare time :)

Huh? What? Filter? Where?

So many questions nestled in poor sentence structure Image

haha, ok I'll rephrase
1: What is a good type of Pod Filter for my car?
2: Where can I get such an filter in the Blacktown area (tomorrow morning)?
3: Do you have anywhere you can recommend?
4: Is a pod filter easy to install? What will I likely need?

that better? :lol:

Easy as pie to install I can't even be bothered to explain it because once you open it. Look at your current filter and then look back at the pod ... its preety obvious... If you can't work it out.... then... well i dunno.
