not gonna be easy to fit c55 exhaust in your car, there is not gonna be space to the the right exhaust, if you notice our spare wheels doesn't sit in the middle as the c55 does, if you want to but c55 exhaust, u'll have to change all those, few people have done it to their c32.
i would recommand just go for custom setup

you can go to the wheel supply at rowland heights for installing spring/shocks, they have really good price.

They are W5W lamps, very similar to a US industry number 168. You can use Rosco blue lamp dip on them. This will match their color temperature to that which is closer to the 6000K lamps you ordered. Just an aside, I measured a so called 6000K kit, and it was only 5200K.

Will the 168 bulb fit where the W5W lamps are? do you have to modify anything or just plug it in? Thanks.

its plug and play try not to touch the bulb clean it after you put them in. It'll make them last longer. If you wanna be baller go with the LED one's but those require resisters in order to work properly.
