    Default Calais Tail Lights

    Hey guys I couldn't find any posts on this topic so don't burn me for it.
    Anyway, I'm looking at getting some Calais tail lights for my VS since that mine are pink when I have my lights on. What would be a good price for these and are they hard to fit?
    Are these any good? COMMODORE VR VS TAIL LIGHTS CALAIS HSV SS BERLINA SEDAN | eBay

    Thanks

    I could swap over a set of tail lights in 5 mins there a few nuts on the inside of the carpet. Berlina acclaim calais and some hsv are all the same with the clear lense. Try a few wreckers and get gunine new ones dont last too long...

    Alright thanks. I reckon I'll go to the wreckers and try to find some. I might even practice on some of the vs's there

    They are easy to fit. You have to remove the tail light each time you need to change a globe, so there isn't anything extra you need to do.

    My Berlina came out with the Calais tail lights from factory, but I think I need to renew them soon as they are starting to fade, and one has a crack in the lens.

    If you get them its worth buying the chrome coloured indicator globes. Don't show up through your lights like the orange ones do

    Oh ok. Should I check out a wreckers yard first? Are these Calais ones or doesn't it matter?

    For that price I would just grab them. They're the best ones because they have the reflectors. A lot of ebay lights don't have it so aren't technically ADR approved and thus not legal. Not to mention going to a wreckers you run the gamble of paying for lights only to find out they have faded.

    When you go through the check out procedure it will ask you if you have any coupon codes.
