    As above should be straight fit. I believe they are rather expensive though? Like $400 each or something?

    They are a 100% fit, just swap and go.

    See if you can pick up a set off eBay, it will cost you half the price.

    Oh, you will also need to note that when you install SS/Calais/HSC spec headlights you will not have both lamps on when highbeams are on, the low beam will go out. Someone (don't know who but I think it was andyman) posted a link so you can fix this. I did have it bookmarked... but I bought a new computer today and it is on my old one

    Get them off ebay.

    You can find brand new sets, for about $600 ..However I've seen them go for as little as $450.

    And as said, they are a straight over swap. Although you will need to take the front bar off the vehicle. There's a sticky about this at the top of the VZ Section..
