[bradvt98]

i need to buy a set of vz monaro lights but i've been told there are two different types available cv8z ones and the monaro ones has anyone come across them and know what the difference betwen the two is ??

thanks in advance

there is the pre vz lights which are basicly vt lights

and the vz ones which they called the "pointer" headlight, which has a sharper angle closest to the holden badge. these headlight you need the monaro front bar as it will leave a gap on the vt model bars.

yeah i should of mentioned i do have a vz monaro front bar but i now need the lights to match :thumbsup: but there are 2 to pick from both the same shape light but there must be some other difference with them ???

hey mate, im going through the process of getting some for my vt at the moment and have done a bit of research. there are the altezza lights (fake) avaiable for about $250 if you trade in your old headlights or $440 for new ones without trading in. For the genuine ones your looking at about $700. i have found them for $500 though if your interested in the details. the VZ ones have a pointy corner on them. when looking that the fake ones u will see that the indicator area is clear however the genuine ones are slightly orange.

I will try and get some photos up when i find them so yeh let me know if u want some details of the $500 price. (holden quotes $700)

cheers,

thanks mate but i think nobody has a clue what i'm on about because they are the comlpletely wrong lights to start with let me explain better !

ok the pic below is of a vz monaro right

yes ok now i have the vz monaro front bar as far as i know THEY DO NOT MAKE AN AFTERMARKET LIGHT FOR THIS MODEL believe me i have looked so genuine is the only way to go.

A visit to motors told me that there are two types of VZ MONARO lights available for this model one is cv8z and the other is monaro ones what i'm asking is what are the differences i already have prices for both types to

thankyou hopefully that is a bit better to understand :thumbsup:

[bradvt98]

These are the genuine ones; note the indicator colour;

here are some fake vt ones; note the indicator colour;

Just for people who stumble across this thread, those are both fake headlights. you can tell by the bezzel around the projectors. the only reason why the bottom picture has "clear" indicators is because the indicator globe isn't even installed lol.

didnt no there was a difference between the cv8(normal monaro) and the cv8z(limited edtion). ill have to go look at my mates dad one but i never noticed anything before

the ones with the black scoops are cv8z. and i cant spot the difference
