Rolla-boy aka Geoff, helped me with the next part,

Yellow circles are the brackets that are needed to come off, red ones are where the adjusting screws go into (i went to supercheap and got some new clip thingys and new screws, the blue ones is what the spring goes onto.

YES!!!

 

I personally hate the KE55 bonnets, with that massive chrome piece...the square headlight ones had a small strip but still the high bonnet...

 

I painted a KE30 bonnet up when I did the square headlight to round headlight conversion...and used a KE30 grill....and bumper bars...and just so you know, there is a difference in the headlight holder/bracket for the round headlights between the KE30 and KE55...the KE30 ones are like an inch shorter, so the headlight sits in the guard more...and looks heaps better.
