good evening,

wheres the best place to get compatible headlights for the VE Commodore. Originals may cost a packet.
Thank you very your advice.
Hi Tom Jones. Wreckers charge around $175 per genuine projector light or you can get these aftermarket ones from machter.com.au for around $600

Which don’t meet ADR and comprise having high and low separate.

It’s so easy to get old lights like new.

Hi Fu I like the originals also. I was tempted to buy the the aftermarket ones also but hearing that I won't risk it. I have upgraded my tail lights to aftermarket ones and haven't had any issues.

I got replacements from Ozcarparts on ebay for $275. Perfect fit look good. Identical to original.
i got mine from ozeparts for $220, would not recommend. the projectors throw a crap pattern and after the rain the other day the passenger side had condensation on the inside that took a couple of days to clear up.

This is why I buy genuine parts. Done the aftermarket lights once and won’t ever buy them again.
