    juzo, where you buy your VZ calais lights from and how much? Do you have heads and tails or just tails?

    Do they just slot in like they were meant for that car or is there some modifying involved?

    I got mt tailights pretty right from my local holden dealer cause i know the parts manager.
    The headlights i've got are vy clubby/calais lights which i got brand spankers of ebay.
    It's just a matter of unscrewing the old and screwing in the new, 20 minutes for the lot, tops.

    Guys

    Your car will no longer meet ADR Reg if VZ Taillight (calias only) are used in any Vy Model, in turn tech-speaking will not meet road worthy.

    Reply if more in required

    Cheers

    Rokkz is right guys - by replacing the taillights with VZ units, you delete the reflector portion which runs across the bottom of the VY lights. VZ's inserted them into the black garnish trim across the bottom of the rear bumper, so you really need to replace that trim with the VZ Calais one as well.

    Regards
