    VX headlight issue

    It sounds to me like the relay might be busted. If you know anyone else with a VT/VX, swap your headlight relay with theirs and see if it fixes the problem.

    Show us ya daily/other cars/family member cars!

    Here's some photos of my new daily driver. It's a 1990 Lexus LS400. It is probably the comfiest car I have ever been in, can't remember the last time I felt a bump in this thing! I have done a few mods to it, if anyone saw my commodore thread, you'll know I just can't help myself! I've put...

    [VT-VX] How to install VY/VZ Sunglasses holder in VT/VX

    The OP of this thread did this for me too, but when it came to doing it on his car we couldn't work it out properly. How he did it on mine is exactly like OEM. The reason for not getting it right on his car was because we never bothered to check how it was done on mine. If we get some time...

    White VX Acclaim

    It's just as big of a hassle as changing to a VY dash, a LOT of work to be done. It's all plug and play you'll need to find a VY calais or something to get parts from and get absolutely every bit of wiring and every part of the dash. Its usually why most people just give up on VY dash's and...

    White VX Acclaim

    I always wanted to do a VY Dash, but it's a lot of work as you have to change all the wiring. If you are going to do it, you may aswell convert to climate control as well, because the dash looks heaps better with the climate control unit, and you have to take most of the car apart anyway, so you...

    Are you sure I need ONLY H4's?

    Are you sure I need ONLY H4's?

    This should help, this is for VX and VY Low Beams: H4 High Beams: H1 Fog Lights: H3 Parker Globes: T10 VT is the same, not sure about the fog light globes though if they are H3 as well. The H4 globe as stated above has 2 filaments so that when the high beams are turned on, the headlights are...

    Vt wags front end change?

    I reckon the VY front would look better, but a WH front would definitely fit, and you can keep your headlights. however it would look heaps better if you got the WH Series 2 headlights with the projectors, they are basically monaro headlights but chrome instead of black, and usually around the...

    What the heck could have caused this? Completely out of the blue

    I found it really hard to reach, i taped one end of the pin to a screw driver which made it heaps easier to get in. Expect to get angry as well, it's really fiddly. I would definitely buy the new part from Holden, I think i spent $30 on the chrome one and the stock one was $20 or there abouts...

    VX executive Rear Fender change

    The VX Calais ones have those lumpy things on the sides, I reckon they look **** as, thats why if you can get a VT bar in your colour cheap you may as well get that, the only thing you miss is the smaller line around the back as its got the thicker one for the chrome strips.

    VX executive Rear Fender change

    I reckon go the VT rear bar and just get VX Calais tail lights, that way you have the reflectors, but not on the rear bar

    Just stops???????

    This might sound silly but, check your terminals on your battery, one of my terminals was not connecting properly and it never disconnected enough to lose radio settings but the car would turn off randomly or it wouldnt start, i just tightened the terminal heaps and it hasn't done it since (the...

    Still Overheating - 2001 VX

    Wouldn't be the first time this has happened, I'd be looking at that if you can't see any leaks or anything, the next i'd be looking at the water pump.

    Does homosexual public display of affection gross you out?

    I have nothing against gay people what so ever, I have a few gay friends as well, but for some reason if I see a gay couple kissing it makes me cringe.

    Diff question again....

    I found it's usually much cheaper to just buy another used diff, My stock LSD diff died on me, so I replaced it with a 3.45:1 ratio LSD Diff from a VU Manual SS and it is perfectly fine, had 96k kms on it, and the higher ratio gives it that bit more pull it's definitely worth it, I paid $255 for...

    What is this on my dash?

    Yep I thought the same thing, the auto head light sensor is actually located in the same spot, and looks exactly the same, but the one in your car won't have the sensor, it will only be your keyless entry sensor.

    VY - VZ Wiper assembly in to a VT - VX

    Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this. I have a VX, but I want to put a VY or VZ windscreen wiper assembly in to my car, so I can shave the holes in the Bonnet, and have the washer jets in the wiper assembly(About to respray the car, so figured I'd shave everything...

    Deployed Airbags :(

    hey if you need it, i've got a vx dash pad and vx steering wheel, the steering wheel has an air bag in it still, and the dash pad came out of my car which has a passenger air bag.

    my VX Ex Copper

    Yeah I've been pulled over plenty of times before and never had any issues, i reckon the only reason they checked the car was because i had damage to the front and shitty tyres on the rear, when i had the 18s on and no damage i never had any issues. But yeah, just a door to door white respray...

    my VX Ex Copper

    Cheers mate, I wish it looked clean at the moment though. The car is now raised back up to FE2 suspension, and a few little things have been fixed like castor bushes and i've gotten rid of the dodgy air box, and put a standard one back in. Hoping to get it back on the road very soon and clear...

    Wow that is very cheap for that colour as it's near impossible to find. Awesome man!

    Awesome choice in colour with the cream leather seats :D, how much did they set you back? once my cars all fixed up i think our cars will look very very similar haha.

    my VX Ex Copper

    Well it's been ages since I have updated this. Not too much happened for a while, the car has been sitting on some shitty 16s i bought cheap, as the tyres on the 18s are bald (wayy too much driving last year). I put some white led parkers all around, apart from that i've pretty much left the...

    VX high rpm rattle/noise

    Mine and another mate of mine with a VX S2 both have this weird muffled rattling sound at high rpms. it sounds like its coming from the dash pad, never actually cared enough to figure out what it was though as it only happens at high rpms. Is this the same for you? Or does anyone else know what...

    Matt's VY SS: Cammed, Supersports, Leather, Phreddy Dash + much more.

    Fitting new seats/airbag VT 97

    This. Anyone with a Tech2 can do it, so Holden, or anyone else with the machine can fix the problem. But as said above, it's illegal to remove air bags from a car.

    My VT Berlina II

    I like this idea, you'll still have VT look but a VX front end. the VX SS front will still suit it I reckon, I was looking into just getting a VX SS front bar for my car but keeping the side skirts and rear bar stock, but just painting them, the vx ss side skirts are pretty much exactly the same...

    Car dies first time I start it?

    Before you buy a new fuel pump, I've had this happen before, but it was the immobilizer turning the car off, and the reason was the 2 metal parts in the ignition barrel had moved, and the key wasn't contacting it the whole way, it would always almost start then die, then i'd try again and it...

    vx foggies instalation

    I think I have a pretty strange situation, I have a 2001 VX Exec, it's an ex police car which I'm thinking might be the reason for my problem. I want to put fog lights in, I have the switch in the dash already, which is already plugged in, and the switch works i see the fog light light come...

    vx commodore new headunit

    Depending on the headunit you have a few options, most head units these days come with a steering wheel remote wire that you just wire straight to your factory steering wheel controls. You do however in the commodores need to modify the controls. A mate of mine has had his working perfectly on...
