headlights

[test321]

Hello there
I have a very berlina and I'm wanting to change the front headlights to the same as the Calais projector headlights
Is this swap for a professional or is it a simple job?
Also is it a straight swap or is anything else needed?


Thanks for you help!

I'm planning on upgrading my sv6 lights to the projector ss-v ones and have looked into how it's done, and it looks a pretty easy job. However, you do have to take the front bar off. Just a matter of unscrewing all the screws at the top, and undoing some scrivets I believe.

Yeah, I know taking the front bar off sounds like one of those f!@# that type things, but luckily it is very easy to do on the VE.

Here is a link to quick guide on removing the headlights on the VE

I Changed my projector headlights to the DRLs the other day . It is a fiddly pain in the ass , you can do it without removing the whole bumper . 2 screws up the top holding the grille , 2 black clips in the wheel arch , and 2 nuts joining the bumper and fender . Once they are removed you can access the 2 lower bolts that are underneath the headlight , the other 2 are on the top . Should take you an hour and a bit depending on how fast you are

PS: If your after projectors im thinking of selling mine , pretty happy with the DLRs for now

If your going to put projectors lights in man, go and buy yourself some genuine ones as they will last a really long time before the plastic headlight cover starts to turn white like aftermarket calais projectors lights

Had an issue with the 08 Clubby I bought - shocking low beam lights
Made sence why when I looked at the bulbs though :-

Definitely go with original holden projector headlamps, they may cost you more to start off with but they will last a lot longer than a majority of the aftermarkets. If you are buying second hand make sure you check the seals and see if there is any condensation or water in the headlight.
