Hi guys!
It's been a while since I've posted an update on this thread but shipping stuff from the US to where I live seems to take ages.
I've ordered a pair of Hylux 2A88 35W HID Canbus ballasts along with a pair of H7 Morimoto Elite bulbs and they took 2 and a half months to get delivered. They must be teleporting them atom by tedious atom, I suppose. In any case, I received the items last Thursday and I've fitted them over the weekend.
I haven't yet taken any pictures of the finished job and the headlights running, which I'll be doing later on this week, but if anyone is planning on doing the same to their Insignia here are some reference pictures of where I've placed the ballasts on mine. They are more or less right under the headlights so If I were to try and take a picture with the headlights on, they would not be visible: overview, left side, right side.
I used heavy duty, double sided, heat conducting, exterior use sticky tape to hold them in place (I've basically covered the entire back of the ballasts in the stuff) as I didn't have the tools, desire or the time to drill proper mounting holes (and also to rust proof them). The tape is rated for 1.5 kg per square cm of downward pulling force so it would probably outlive the ballasts.
More updates with pictures are coming as time allows for it.
