2016 VF Series II SV6 Sportswagon
Hi all,
May seem like a dumb question, but I’m looking at replacing the standard bulbs with Stedi LED bulbs.

I have two options available, bulbs suited for normal headlamps & those for projector headlamps!

My blonde question for the evening, does anyone know if my 2015 VF Series2 SV6 has normal or projector headlights? (Pretty sure it’s the latter but want to confirm!)

Cheers!

All VF Commodores have projector headlamps.

My globes are fine, 65w instead of previous models 55w. I think they are the best lights of any Commodore I have owned.

If you think the stock globes are fine you'll wet yourself with a HID conversion.

I have had HID's in previous Commodores (VE SSV, VEII Thunder), I even went the extra mile and bought SSV lights for my Thunder Ute so I had projector lenses for them. Whilst I agree they are bright, I feel that the clarity is better with the standard globes.
I don't do as much night time driving as I used to, so that also needs to be weighed up.

Depends what rating you go for ie the higher the k isn't necessarily the better. Generally 5000k is best for light and clarity.

VF Redline Sedan - A6 Spitfire MSE...
I'm using that brand in my E3 Clubby and my VF SV6. The SV6 does a 200km round trip to work every day on country highways. Great lights.
Are they legal?
