They slot straight in and look hideous. Don't do it!
Not sure about the headlights though.

Yes the headlights will slot straight in.

I agree with Reaper about the tailights.

SII VT tail lights FTW. The white indicators look great. Sell the munro ones to some other ricer.

I agree with the others - go with VT Series II tail lights, or if you don't like them, maybe consider getting VX tail lights and a VX Berlina/Calais garnish?

Either way, if you insist on having the Monaro taillights, please, please, please change to a VX garnish, otherwise it'll just look horrible

Headlights will fit mate, do a search but search 'titles only' and you will find info about putting them in. Have a look at my series 2 vt, i have fitted a calais rear garnish and it looks very nice with the lights in there as well as the standard tail lights.

Hey mate, i bought a set of black altezzas which are basically monaro copies and installed them in my vt clubsport.I dont know about your model but i have a feeling that they can be done without removing the front bumper but not 100% sure.On my clubsport i had to remove the front bumper and i was worried about doing this so i ask a spray shop what was involved to remove it.It was a piece of cake i undid about 6 screws and a couple of bolts to remove the bar (basically its a couple of bolts some screws and plastic clips that hold em in place. There are three bolts holding your lights in,then just unplug your old lights put your new ones in and plug them up again.With mine i had to use the indicator globes from my original set of lights.Hope this helps....

with the taillights you will have to run a wire from the reverse light from the left side i think (im not sure which side it is), to the right hand side one. surely someone will clarify this. i remember i had to do that with the genuine lights in my car.
