    Default do 04 pontiac GTO headlights fit vx calais?

    as stated above.. they look like exactly the same fitting design, but I am guessing they dont?

    anyone?

    Apart from the VX having the tear drop light.

    The car is basically a Monaro.

    no they wont, the calais/berlina has a different shape headlight to them, you'd need to change the front bar
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    vx calais lights do not have a teardrop... and neither do the ones I am looking at on US ebay.

    aside from the teardrop should they be ok?

    You might look into the fact that the GTO lamps are left hand drive, meaning the light refraction is set up for LHD cars

    yeah, i'm still gonna say no, those headlights more round than vx s1 or 2 calais headlights, may fit a monaro and vt but not a vx or calais without changing the front bar.

    notice how there is more of a point by the grill

    Yeah, looks exactly the same as monaro lights, find out if monaro lights fit a calais, then you would probably have an answer, I think they should but you might had a bit of a gap around the grill. I think it would look good if you could do it.

    What ashbox said.

    The GTO lights will only fit VTs.
    VX Exec and SS have the teardrop.
    VX Berlina/Calais/HSV have the 'pointed' lights.

    Thats not to say that with a simple bumper change they can fit. But you already have the best type, why bother

    They will fit. There is a set on eBay right now sitting in the front of a monaro. They are slightly more pointed then the vt but there is nothing stopping a small mod. As for the vx, yes there is the teardrop which can be easily filled or buy a new Bodykit. OR, there are other projector lights on ebay for those cars with no mod required. Just don't have the two halo rings or all the LEDs.
