    No they won't work. The indicators wrap around more on a vh and the headlight part is a different shape also.

    Also i think the wiring harnes plug may be different. I know they are different from VH to VK.

    VH and VK lights are the same bar the indecators (obviously) and chrome strip that screws to the bottom. ive got vk headlights in my vh, straight fit.

    as for the vb lights. the whole light is taller and would need the vb/vc guard, grille and bonnet aswell as a different plug.

    We already worked this out, he was now asking about taillights for the rear.

    the tail lights are interchangeable from vb-vl model commodores. personaly i perfer vh/k headlights as they got a sleeker look, vb/c are very square, but its personal preferance.

    When Brad put VK tail lights in the VH he had to adapt the rear half of the VK loom coz apparently the plugs are different or sumfin.

    Thats weird. Mine had different plugs for the wiring harness. Thats why i put my bare foot through the bloody headlight, 8 sutures later Maybe it was changed somewhere along the line.

    and i replied that I was pretty sure that they are different. I was looking on americanautos.com.au and it looks like the vh/vk lights wrap around the side a lot more.

    vb/vc taillight indicators are square, whereas the vk comes down on an angle

    That is a much better description than what i was trying to say.

    But, after more thought, i think the hole that the light bolts to might be the same across the vb-vk range.

    the hole may be the same but i think the profile in-dentation in the rear quarter is different aswell to allow the different shaped indicator

    yea mate i agree with u there. vh tail lights look a bit like bug eyes or something. best combo i rekon. vh front and eitha vb or vc tail lights. but then again it s all up 2 what u like and wat u dont.
    the germans designed it, the aussies built it, the japs got it moving and the wogs got it dosing...
