    You will need to get the wiring loom for the monaro lights, it doesn't cost much. The monaro lights have the reverse light in them and the monaro loom will have the reverse lights on it, pretty much pulg and play, but you will need to run a wire from the drivers side to the passenger side to get the passenger reverse light working.

    With the wiring loom it depends on where you get the lights. I bought my lights direct from holden, and that came with the wiring looms for both sides, the special indicator globes which you need to get and the lights themselves. It cost me $251 from holden last December, and they order it in for me and i picked it up later that day. I had to run a wire from the right hand side reverse to the left for it to work.

    The price maybe different to your local dealer, but the retail price of the wiring harness is around 10.15 each. The special indicator bulbs are 17.75 each.
