    nah its a genuine plastic one, fits perfect except that gap under the lights so i thought the cluby lights might be a bit longer

    you sure the rear bar you brought from ebay wasn't a modified bar to fit the berlina and Calais cars? .. Or are you sure you have an executive and not a berlina/Calais yourself? .. as the berlina and Calais models have a different fitting around the bottom of the lights, check up these things and that could help you a little with your problem..
    cheers

    yeh and i think from memory (which isnt great) the clubsports might have had the same lights as the berlinas as you said.. So you could maybe try and borrow some berlina lights from somewhere and see how they fit up :P

    You need calais or berlina tail lights, get VY series 1 Berlina taillights, they are the ones that were used on VY HSV's
    VY Calais, LS1, 19's, Lowered, VY2 Front bar.

    As above, VY/Z HSVs used Berlina/Calais lights, so they are the larger style lights. Theres nothing wrong with the bar.

    So your only option is to buy the larger lights (VZ Execs/lumina's have the larger lights too, if its cheaper getting those)

    Thats because you have the same tail lights as the HSVs........
    The OPs tail lights are the smaller kind.
