I noticed Speed16 mentioned the word pioneer not millionaire. But it does look good. Regards Keith.

Projector Headlights I did the swap to projectors on my VE and was very disapointed in the quality of light. When I did the swap I also upgraded to better quality Philips lamps. If I were to do it all again I would not fit projectors but just fit the better quality globes. Don't worry...

Spooner 198, have a look at a post headed 'V8 Rear Muffler on V6 Omega' last posted 28-3-09. I think you will find all you need there. If I can help with more photos etc just yell out. Keith.

Dont let someone just chop a hole in the bar. You can get the SS/SV6 bumper trim and add it. It takes a little engineering but works a treat. You will need some bits, the rear hanger bracket, the heat shield for near the extra rear muffler and a hanger rubber. I'll see if I can find my...

Reverse Assist. My VYII Berlina was not fitted with sensors but I ordered the OE from the dealer, they came color coded with all the tools for a bit over $250 trade and they took a couple of hours to fit. I would stick to originals as all the loom etc was there in the VY. Fortunately my VE...

Can anyone please help with the following queries: How hard and what is involved in changing the rear shocks to the genuine holden air lifter (for towing). Do these shocks stuff up the ride from the rear suspension. Thanks Regards Keith.

Sorry I must have missed the point, what do you mean "and also includes an ammeter on the earth lead". I too am quite interested in this subject. Keith.

Fantastic, thanks very much you've done it again! Regards Keith.

Any luck with that diagram yet Andyman? Thanks Regards Keith.

No worries Andyman it'll happen. Regards and thanks. Keith.

I don't entirely disagree with you in fact that was my first option, however if the constant 12volts is used then any memories that are stored in the unit will be retained. If there are no memories then nothing is lost anyway. As I implied in my earlier post I can check around (test lamps &...

Andyman. That would be handy if you could find a diagram, I could prod around with a test lamp and multimetre but I could end up with the result you speak of. Things can look good in the short term but................. Thanks Regards Keith.

To wire in my DVD Monitor I need 12 volts positive and a 12 volt accessory connecion. Where's the best (easiest) place to pick these up? It will be mounted under the existing radio. Regards Keith.

How good is the clarity of the picture given you view it from a fair angle above and off to on side? Regards Keith.

DVD Brand Judging by the name on the front panel I'd say it's a CLARION. Keith. Sorry mis-understood who you were asking.

For a better Horn. You can buy a horn from Holden which is a different tone and sounds very good. It's quite cheap, I bought it as an accessory and screwed it on, sounds lots better and louder. It is in addition to the existing one(s) but different tone. Regards Keith.

dave_amson It gets a tad complicated but..... Yes it all screws or clips in although from memory you need to replace the complete surround that goes around the radio and gear lever area. (I certainly replaced all that stuff.) The centre A/C outlet also changes with that top screen. If you...

dave_amson. When you say the SS Interior Dash trim will not fit, things can get a bit confusing. I have changed to the SS gear lever surround trim, radio and radio surround, including adding the top screen & six stacker which replaces the radio screen and the centre top A/C vent outlet. It...

It appears on my Lumina that the horn up near the driver does both jobs. I have not had a chance to look behind the bumper but I presume I dont have them there. When I first bought the car 18 months ago I added the second tone horn and it does sound a lot better. Keith.

If modifications cancel the warranty I'm in deep......... I've put the fog lights in the front bumper, changed the whole radio console etc to SS trim including six stacker and all six speakers, put a Hayman Reese towbar and wiring in changed to the Holden twin exhaust system including SS...

My understanding is that the horns down at bumper level are the alarm and the "get out of the way ya mongrel" horn is up near the driver. Keith.

Sorry bigfut I dropped the ball I've been busy on another project and it looks like you now have your answer anyway. I too paid a bit more than I expected, I think it was about $150 trade but I lost track with that incorrect number for the garnish. However I did not think it excessive keeping...

It absolutely fits and yes the two bars are the same. If you have a look at the previous posts from 'bigfut' you will find all the part #'s which are accurate except for the trim which was later corrected to 92173744. However in addition you will need the two bolts to hold the LHS rear hanger...

Pictures as promised. Hope this helps anyone interested in doing the mod. Give me a yell if I can help. Regards Keith.

OK Done. With determination a Dremel and a hand full of screws it fits! I made the slots a bit longer in the Omega bar because they do not line up with the SS trim. This may not be absolutely necessary but it looked like it had to be done. The trim can be screwed onto the Omega bar by...

The tabs on the SS trim are in different places to the Omega. The lower row of tabs on the SS trim cannot match the Omega bar because the Omega bar is not as wide (high?) as the SS bar. I actually modified a slot in the Omega bar to match the SS trim and pushed it on temporarily but it looks...

Changing Rear Bumper Trim Just picked up the SS rear bumper trim with the twin exhaust cutout (part # 92173744 as previously mentioned). BUT-Bugger the trim will not fit the Omega bumper. The SS bumper must be just a slightly different shape. Is the SV6 bumper the same as the SS ...

Thanks-interesting reading. I was wondering when someone was going to come up with the facts. Regards Keith.

Thanks muzzz89 that will like much easier. A quick sticky beak around under there yesterday looked as though it was possible. Thanks again. Keith.

Thanks bigfut. Everything else appears OK. I'm not sure what part # the dealer has ordered now so I can't check it against your info. I guess I'll find out when it comes in. Thanks for the part numbers it helps a lot when the parts person is not very interested. Regards Keith.

bigfut Re; Part Numbers I think your part number 92108015 maybe for the panel on a VY (or VZ) not VE. I picked that panel # up today and thats what it was, curious. I could be wrong but........... Regards Keith.

Can anyone tell me if the rear bar has to come off to change the Bumper insert from one pipe outlet to twin pipe outlet or can you pull out the plugs underneath and pop the trim backwards and off? Regards Keith.

Thanks for your quick reply-Regards Keith.

Could anyone please tell me if the V8 twin outlet RHS rear muffler will fit on the RHS exhaust pipe of the single pipe system Omega. Thanks, Keith.

skydup, Pardon my ignorance, but what is a REQ5? joshtaylor87, Do you have a brand or any other detail? Thanks Keith.

Has anyone put the projector headlamps out of the SSV / Calais etc. in to the Omega. I realise they will fit but are there any problems electrically? I had them in my previous VY II Berlina and found them much better than normal reflector headlamps and quite adequate. Thanks Keith.

There is a very simple cure to this problem. Trot yourself off to a Holden spares counter and they can supply a harness that plugs into the socket under the glove box. The harness has all the wires labelled for you to install and connect the car kit to. Part number G*92188778. I paid About...

I'm putting the genuine fog lights on an Omega and would like to know if the loom already has the wiring in it. All the bits are available including the loom with the two fog lamp plugs and another multi pin plug (or socket) that is located about 200 to 300 mm from the lamp connectors. If not...

Benboy, are you saying that Hi beam must be on to have the "extra lights" on but you must be able to turn them off and still leave the H/B on? That makes sense to me, but aren't the originals able to be turned on even with all other lights off, including high beam? Regards Keith.

They actually supplied two harnesses but I think one does it. Would the red banded connectors go on the lamps? I still dont have lamps. They have two sockets in them whereas the black one has about eight. The configeration of the harness idicates to me that the two red banded connectors go on...
