    i was looking @ getting SS head lights for my vy s and i looked at the HSV ones, they say it fits the factory wiring and they look nice but the only problem is the dips on the bumper.

    i read elsewhere they need to be plastic wielded, would it be cheap to do? also would anyone know a estimated price to get someone to plastic wield it?

    also is it even worth doing? i havnt really seen the head lights on the vy s/ss before.

    i have also looked @ doing the vz ss tail lights, is the wiring easy to do? i havnt looked around for any information on it yet, or i will just get the VY SS tail lights, doesnt really bother me but the vz ones do look pretty good imo

    Thanks Guys

    Pending how it's done will determine cost, for eg, to get a second cut out in the rear bumper of a vs is roughly $100-150

    Do u need the cut out filled in or u need the cutout created? No too familiar with the setups. To fill in I'd say $100 for both, or to create the cutout, say $100 each.

    I'm currently screwing round with plastic welding, and I've had it done in the past. Cost may have gone up as this was about 2-3 years ago

    From what I understand, He has a VY SS S1

    So this bumper
    [​IMG]

    He wants to fit VY SII or VZ Lights.

    Meaning he wants to fill the Parker divets from the VY SS S1 headlights.

    I myself, Would put a few layers of tape across the front, then the top.
    Flip the bar upside down, put some resin & fibreglass matting, couple times,

    Remove tape from front once cured, Some body filler, prime, Done.

    Thanks man, I thought that's what he was saying, the "hole thing cut out" got me mixed

    If not Hozy's way, I'd say $100 to get it done plastic welded.
