    Can someone confirm if I can fit VE calais tailights on a VE Berlina?

    I am not sure if they are a different size and would like to confirm before I purchase a set of VE taillights.

    Fairly certain Berlina and Calais have the exact same tail lights?

    **Actually, Calais V lenses look darker, but pretty sure they fit the same

    Yes you can - Calais/Berlina are interchangeable but Omega aren't.

    Just to clarify .. Omega/SV6/SS share identical tail light plastics, SSV gets same physical sizing but has tinted lenses/silver bezel etc ( lights are directly swappable between Omega-SV6-SS-SSV). Berlina gets the same physical sized lights as the Calais/CalaisV but they have a different cosmetic appearance; Calais variants are tinted (and do look better by a fair whack). But the size of the Berlina/Calais tail light assemblies allows direct swapping. But Omega style lights won't fit Berlina/Calais and vice versa. Bumper cutouts on Berlina/Calais are same around lights but lower diffuser/insert thingy is different depending on single/dual tailpipes.
