    you'll have to change the headlights as well because of the parkers will get in the way

    i can verify it will fit but u need a vz bonnet for it to look right
    cos the bulge in the vy bonnet is lower and spread further apart than the vz, which is higher and slimmer.

    Just curious guys... (a bit off topic)...
    Are the vy and vz headlights the same shape and size (except for the parker spot on the vy?). I'm thinking, if they were exactly the same, is it possible to get vz headlights, remove the lens and fit the vy lens? Therefore you would still have your parker bit that fits into the bumper but you would have the vz headlights. You may need to do some extra modifications though. Anyways, is what i'm thinking at all possible?...

    The body of the lamp would be different, as it has to align with the parking light. I think I've seen somewhere else that they are actually a different shape at the grille end, with a different angle. In other words, they are not interchangeable.

    Correct, and you'd also need a VZ grille. I actually prefer the VY SS front end over the VZ SS, but hey - each to their own.

    Correct again. Besides the teardrop parker, the headlights are also a different shape.

    Na, they'll have to be VZ headlights. They're the only ones the right shape to fit a VZ bar.
