    Default VH Headlights, something doesnt look right !!

    Hi guys I just bought a new pair of non-genuine headlights for the SLE. Went to see my car at the mechanics (car is there getting some work and he installed them) and noticed something didnt look right. Anyway tuns out the headlights are sticking out by about 2.5 inches too much which looks shitty. My front grill isn't currently one and when i put it back on this will be even more noticiable.

    I was wondering if this is because they are non-genuine and are slightly different than the genuine ones (this didnt happen with the old ones which were genuine) or is it that they havent been installed the correct way.

    Has anyone had a similar experience ?

    Can you still get the genuine headlights ?, if so where from


    Thanks in advance

    vh and vk lights are exactly the same, at a guess id say they are not sitting in the white plasctic holders on the bottom on the light these attach to the body.....

    Different indicators, and the bottom trim is different. But the headlight units are identicle.

    Either not sitting right, or shit quality, post a photo.
