ss headlights

[PlenumBiscuit]

will vy ss headlights fit the my vy executive bumper. im aware of the parker lights dome but does the inner angle suit the grill angle

and im about to buy a set of ss headlight off gumtree, is there an easy way to know if theyre genuine or aftermarket?

They're a straight swap
I fitted SS headlights to my poverty pack VY ute which has the executive front bumper

Should be able to see a part number on them somewhere if they are genuine.
Most aftermarket lights I've seen don't tend to have any part numbers on them

thanks mate guessing the bumper has to come off to get headlights in?

I can confirm the bumper HAS to come off and yes the SS lights fit. I bought a pair from Ozeparts on Ebay.

Haha ive now got em they came cheap with the ss tail lights

Cheap cos the plastic is quite damaged. Ive tried the old polish toothpaste and brasso tricks but did nothing

Looking like im gonna hav to sand them?

Apparent i can get the grill off and the third bolt is tough but the bumper can stay on..

I paid my mechanic $110 he did it all. $125 for the pair of lights and $110 for the changeover....seemed good deal to me

Oh you got used SS lights ? I reckon the VY lights may have some coating on them. Thats why I got the new ones

I just went and swapped em at the back of BP in the happy wash lol took me 45 mins

I did hav to release bumper but for any future readers leave one side attached so u wont need 2 people to put it back on

Obviously looks better with ss lights but the clear is totalled. I tried the turtle wax sanding kit on em earlier tomight didnt do much grr $30 down the drain

Might try a proper wet sand scrub but dunno the best cut n polish to use onthem to get em shiny again

So has anyone sanded their headlights before with wet rub and what did u use to cut n polish em

My ss ones need something to get back clearness
