    have a look on ebay, i dont have pic but all the difference i think is that the indicators are clear instead of orange. im pretty sure thats all the is, you would be better having a look on ebay because i got quoted something like $75 a light at auto one

    i think the calais tail lights have those white lines that go through them, to match the calais boot garnish

    VN and VP ones are different
    vn has the even stripes going through the blinker and vp has chrome strips that start thin and get thicker all the way dow the light.. heres mine off a vn.. notice the difference to the pic ov the vp's above.. before and after nightshades

    ^^ vn calais ones own vp's cause the vp's are cut off by the reflecto and it makes it look ugly.. whereas mine have stripes all the way across an all black reaer end:) similar to a vl calais

    VP S Pac
    I know this is an old thread but found it doing some google searching for VP Calais tail lights.

    I bought some new tail lights for my VP S-pac but have since picked up a Calais boot garnish in next to new condition so now the tail lights dont match. Im chasing down a set of tail light now to match the boot garnish but cant seem to find any. I remember seeing some on ebay when i was looking for some replacements to the ones on the car but now there arent any listings for the calais ones. I found a few online stores who sell the VN ones but no one seems to sell the VP ones.

    Does anyone know where I can find a set?

    Matt
