    They will fit but the VK/VL lights of lugs for the centre garnish to be attached. What were you planning to do there?

    cheers

    If you want to install the vh/vk lights. your going to need the vh/vk bonnet and vh/vk side front panels with it.

    Like Goon said, to chuck the VH/VK headlight/indicator assembly in a VB/VC, ya just need chuck a VH/VK bonnet and fenders on. It aint nothing hard to do. The bonnet is 4 bolts, and the fenders have a few extra bolts, but nothing to hard. There's 2 behind each kick panel, one underneath behind the wheel, all the ones on top, and about 3 underneath where it joins up to the apron (the same for the other side). Also there's a bar which bolts up to the fender, which is the same bolt holding the bumper on. Also holding the bumper on will be 4 bolts which bolt up to the chassis rails.....if ya get under the front of ya car u should see all of these (except the ones up top and the ones behind the kick panels). To do the whole lot, changeover lights, bonnet, fenders, remove and replace bumper.....would prolly take bout an hour from start to finish if you've done it a few times...so it isn't a huge job or anything.

    umm bit more involved than that and would take longer than an hour. you need to cut or bend away metal behind the headlights and front guards or you wont get either the headlights or indicators to fit/sit properly. conversion was covered in street commodores mag not long a go.
    not a straight bolt up job

    DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO DO A COMPLETE VK/L REAR END It looks shit with just the lights and chrome bumper a mate got a free rego'd vh that had that done to it (his good vh has no rego because he lost his LIC)

    ok so it is a bit of work. well i dont think i will do it just for 2 indecators. i might just look around if there was any clear 1's made for a VC.

    Does any1 know if there was any clear indecators made for the VC? If there was where can i get them from?

    Thanks James
