Will a VL Calais rear tail light assembly (indicators and centre piece) fit on a VH?

Yes, (as I posted in your other thread) but I have seen it done and it looks CRAP. (In my opinion). Fitting VK front indicators is a good idea - they look good. Oh and also VK/VL mirrors can be fitted with a bit of fiddling, they will give your VH a cleaner look and you don't have to re-adjust them everytime someone brushes against them when walking past your car.

Ol' fart, young heart!
The VL lights, centre panel, and boot strip will fit, but the corner garnishes will not.
The VL got a different rear 1/4 pressing to the VB-VK, and this has a relief beside the end of the tail light that the garnish fits into. This relief does not exist on VB-VK shells, and prevents fitment of the corners.
You have to use VK ones if you want the calais 3-tier rear lights/garnish assembly.

It will fit but would you want to change it? The VH model is unique, especially when it comes to the tail lights. The tail lights on every model from the VB to VL are very similar and boring, except for the VH!
It was also the last Commodore model to come out with chrome bumpers. I think these 2 facts alone point to how unique this particular model is and how it will become a classic in the very near future.

I think i'll leave it now. The car is a stock 5 litre SL/E, only mods are exhaust. I plan to fit VY SS 18's on it and return exhaust to twin outlet. The car has been in family since new and is in mint condition.
