I seriously cant be going through this as most of it is common sence. Go buy a gregorys manual as it will show what the Holden wiring of parkers/indicators is. Now go to the wreckers and get these connections, now graft these onto you existing connections, done and done.

PS. DO NOT BADGE IT AS A HOLDEN, its super lame and anyone with half a brain can tell the difference.

Well they are Holdens, says so on the build sheet but I allways think they are cooler with the different Toyota version parts :)

They were built by Holden and there's no difference in any of the components (except the ones with the Toyota logo).

To do the conversion properly, you need to actually change the front guards as well as get a VR bumper. As far as I know, the indicators and headlights plugged straight in, but don't quote me on that.

My best friends father found a Lexcen that had been converted to a manual, far out does it fly. He did the conversion. The loom may have already been there, as they didn't describe having any problems to me.

Far bigger concern is the rear lights, I think they look terrible.

I prefer the look of my lexcen over the standard Holdens anyway. Oh yeah forgot about the front fenders, the ones on the lexcens are from statos.

Depends on the which model Lexen but yeah usually a bit posher looking inside than the same model Commodore, they normally go better too I think just because grandpas that looked after them bought them new
