    Question VZ Head & Tail Lights

    Hey everyone just had a quick question I needed answering.
    Just wondering if anyone can lead me to a good place to buy aftermarket head and tail lights for a VZ Executive.

    I've seen a few "Altezza" brand lights, they look great but not sure if they're legit...
    Any help at all will be great, thanks

    Any (ANY) modification(s), unless approved to ADR standards, that change/alter/modify any aspect of your vehicle from the ADR standards/requirements that existed at the time of manufacture of your vehicle are ILLEGAL.[/U][/B] ALL lights fitted originally to your vehicle had to comply with ADR (Australian Design Regulations) so any changes yo make must comply with the original specifications - unless you manage to obtain an Engineers Report/Certification.

    I suppose next you are going to give the guy a lecture on fog/driving light use or HIDs?

    Answer the question or don't post.

    To the OP:
    Paul has set you on the right path. I don't know of anyone at the moment producing aftermarket headlights so you would be best off getting some SS/Calais/HSV spec ones.

    As has been mentioned, go for SS/Calais/HSV VZ Headlights. For tailights you want VZ SS, Calais are different, not sure on HSV.

    Paul has given you the best list for them, but currently for a VZ, there isn't much choice.

    There's two styles of Altezza taillights, and they'll only fit VY Exec, Acclaim, S, SV8 and SS, and VZ SV6, SV8 and SS. The only real option for a VZ Exec is a set of Berlina or Calais taillights, either VY or VZ, as they are a bigger lense. To get Altezza lights, you'd need to change the rear bumper.

    As for headlights, I don't think there are any aftermarket style lenses. VZ Berlina or Calais, again, are probably the only option to change to.

    Just food for thought, done the research myself

    The VZ is here! About time!

    I bought a set of rear lights on UK Ebay from a guy in the US who ships worldwide. They are fully E-Marked and road legal, look similar to but better than the VXR units too:

    HOLDEN VAUXHALL MONARO V2 VZ VT VX BLACK TAIL LIGHTS on eBay (end time 06-Apr-10 22:06:47 BST)

    He is currently not selling any but he pops up every few weeks.

    Hope that helps,

    good advice but the monaro has different tail lights to a commodore
    Chev badges are an instant fail
