Most parts are generic now-a-days.


Theres alot more than just the interior light the same (can't remember off the top of my head, but i know that a 6cyl falcon gearbox is the same T5 as VN/VP 5Ls)

yeah diffs and stuff made by borgwarner thats all good shared between the two.it was the light holder not the cover.and it had ford on it not some other susiduary company like the gearboxs and diffs and stuff but FORD.ewww yuk.
the enemy.

just thought it was weird expected to see holden written in there thats all.

anyone else found any other parts on there holden that have ford on them.

The headlight switch between some Fords and the VR/VS commodores is very similar too *glares*

yeah the interior light in the vn and vp does ford stamped into it, noticed this a few years back

Sounds like what's happened here if that's the case.I'd say a previous owner has had to replace the cover at some stage and has the Ford one laying around in the garage,thought it looked similar and found it fit ok so clipped it on.Some people just don't care about brand loyalty :bang:
Whoops,didn't read LowVP' s post above!! that'll explain it...common supplier.

From memory the rear seat fold down tray bit on VT-Z are exactly the same as that used in an XF Falcon. Get used to it - we are all driving Fords in drag :whistling

Not all of the VN Calais light covers have FORD in them - just some.
