    Default VYII tail lights

    How easy/hard is it to change the tail lights in a vyii... I have an SV8 and have just noiced they've started selling the altezza lights to suit. Still not sure if Im going to do it, but Id like to know if its a pretty easy change over, considering Im a bit of a noob when it comes to stuff like this.

    not sure about a VY exactly but all other models have been a piece of cake. Pull the boot trim away, undo the nuts/screws, unplug the looms and they're out. reverse process to put the new ones in.
    someone else please correct me if i'm wrong.

    Anyone got a set of the altezza lights on a VY?
    They look nice off the car, whats the concensus on the look when on the car?

    do a search for VY Altezza taillights in the CarsRUs sponsors section. I know they stock them and pretty sure they have photos of them on actual cars

    Changed mine over to SS lights the other week, Its simple.

    Pull up crapet and latch it onto the boot, Unscrew boot trim, And then they're are finger nuts u unscrew and its out.
    Have a look around your boot, As soon as you see the finger screws you'll know what ya doing.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like an easy job, just worried how they'll look now. Cant find any pics on carsrus website.

    Sorry for my noobness... Is Ozzie a parts retailer?

    Go genuine holden rather than an aftermarket. They cost more but look 100x better IMO
