the new ones aren't as deep as ours and they don't fill up the entire bucket. But they are deeper than ours so you have to clearance it for the back I used a dremel and cut the "ears" off for lack of a better term. I had to modify mine also I used hot glue on the backside to make a spacer to keep pressure on the new housing. Has worked out really well and i've had it done for 7 or so months.

the housing doesn't sit totally flat and inside of the bucket because of the h4 bulb housing...so i am going to cut out (with a hole saw) a 2 inch hole in the back so it will let that housing sit in the bucket flush
