just ran the Multi meter over them
where as the manual is suggesting 0.5 and 5 ohm
will that be an issue? or have I got the wrong units ?

the 'Specs from internet on the Part say 1.5 and 5 Ohm
Mulitimeter read 2 and 5 Ohms
My electical guy here says "yep it'll be fine, just run it
and all the searching on net I did earlier did not find any other options
#CBR41 exists but same specs

So since fitting the new Ballast the car only runs for a few second then cuts out abruptly
documented on the oldschool forum
here
scratching head, nothing else has changed & super weird it starts every time & sometimes runs longer, heaps of fuel then rev needle is the 1st to drop / die

Fixed it : there was a Jumper 'missing" on the 1st 2 Terminals on the Ballast resistor (was never there) and mate was looking at the diagram & says : where's this wire
not sure why it became a problem after using it for a few years eh
