headlights

Hi all, I recently purchased some LED headlights for my VY. They have arrived and I have tried fitting them and have run into some issues. 1. The H1 high beam LED has 2 connectors opposed to the halogen only having 1 connector. I believe I may have to buy a wiring converter (2 female to 1...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a set of Audi R8 style headlights for my VZ, just was wondering if anyone had any pointers/reccomendations. I've been looking at Mars Performance and Sydney Special Vehicles but have heard very mixed reviews about Mars which makes me a bit skeptical. Hoping to keep...

Howdy. I couldn't work out why my headlights were crap compared to my previous VX wagon, so I pulled them out today to install some new SS ones. This is what happens when you use H4- 90/100 watt globes in place of the standard H4- 55/60 watt ones. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING HIGHER WATTAGE GLOBES...

Hi guys, So ever since i installed my new headlights (aftermarket projector) ive realised that the panel gap between the bottom of the headlight and the bumper is just ridiculous. Ive also noticed that the gap where bumper meets the hood, one side has a bigger gap than the other. Now...

So a random problem has developed with my VZ. No auto or mechanical changes but after driving one day I noticed that my headlights will only work when they are set to auto. If i switch back to parkers or driving lights then I have no lights. Annoyingly, when the keys aren't turned to...

I've got SSV headlights with one set of projector lamps but want to install a second set for quad projectors. Is there a guide or anything that'll help me? I think I need 2.5" lenses but not sure what else. Thanks :) Reference image:

Ive got a 2005 VZ SV6 commodore and was curious as to whether or not the VZ SS tail and head lights would fit a VZ SV6. From what ive heard, they do but just wanted to know if anyone has experience with this swap. Anyone that has any VZ SS lights for sale HMU aswell. Thanks :surprise:

G'day guys, Have rego due tomorrow and mechanic is being an arse about my headlights, when I turn the highbeam on, lowbeam goes out on the passenger side. Is this most likely just a poor earth connection or other problem, if you think earth, does anyone know where the culprit may be located...

I want angel eyes for my VZ wagon does anyone know where I can get some or has anyone tried using the kit from spectrum angel eyes? They are like $400 bucks so i want to know if they are worth it thanks. Also what are your opinions on those DRL headlights (the really popular ones)

Can you guys post some pics of your aftermarket headlights & taillights for any VZ but mostly Utes and Wagons for the taillights and give me your opinion and where to get them so there not cheap looking or tacky. Thanks :beer chug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd6_VRfizQc - Is it possible...

I own a VP ute with a stock front end. I like the look of some of the VN grilles going around, and I know that the grille is a different shape to the VP, but if you swap out the headlights and grille from a VN can you keep the VP indicators? I really don't want to get two whole new left and...

I have been having problems with my electrics in my vy ss for a while now. My front windows wont go down i have to hold the button down for 10 sec for it to work or tap the down button lots of times.

Hi there, I have to replace the headlights on my VY Series II Calais (no teardrop in the headlight), and I was wondering if the headlights from a VZ Calais would fit in. I know that the VZ grille is slightly larger that the VY, but the shape of the headlights are practically the same on...

Got a new set of headlight globes the other day and the bloke at supercheap could not help me with putting them in. My main problem is with the clip/tang/spring part that sits behind the globe to keep it in.. When trying to change the globes I read on a forum on here about loosening one of...

I have a 1999 vt commodore berlina, randomly the (after marker kenwood) radio stopped working. after investigating i checked the fuses and nothing was blown, i swapped the fuse in the head unit its self and it started working, however since then whenever i turn on the head lights, the interior...

Hey everyone, I'm sure this has come up before but I have been doing searches and can't find anything (probably missed it or searching wrong). I'm wondering if anyone knows the globe sizes for the VE series 1 sv6, I need to know low beam, high beam and fog light sizes. Any help would be...

I have noticed(only at night), when i'm driving and i slow to stop at intersection, the headlights dim for a second or so, then they brighten back up, it does it everytime i pull up. I've checked the alternator, its putting out 14.0v at idle, the cables look ok, its just really weird, its as...

Hey guys, recently I've been looking to upgrade my 2003 Vy S headlights - h4's... I'm over the poor range and look of the OEM bulbs.. Just wondering what replacements would get me a quality range + a slight blue tinge but still legal as I don't want to mess around with HID's and still be...

Hi all, just wondering if the VE and VY Commodore would need a new flasher unit in order for LED indicators to work properly. If anyone who has done this your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Had my battery jump started by RACV and ever since the lowbeams are either dim or off, can be either or both at a time. Lights play up when switched to auto or on, sometimes turn off when they should turn off either manually or automatically. The highbeams work fine however. If I give the...

Hi all, I recently tinted my boot garnish and tail lights and haven't had a problem with the lights not showing, and never been pulled over for it. Was wondering if it's illegal for head lights to be tinted, and if there's a certain darkness I can do it too, cheers.

Hi I recently relocated my battery to the boot in my s:axe:s...everything works fine car starts no problems at all...but the other night I took it out for a drive and the headlights were fluctuating in brightness they,were going very dull and then they would just jump back to there normal...

I recently brought some VY Headlights off ebay and am in the middle of installing them. The problem is the new ones i am trying to install wont fit the one small particular wiring connection. Do i just mod it or can i buy a new one to fit? Thanks

Hi guys, Recently my lights have been randomly coming on even when the switch is off. Can almost be 100% sure this does not happen if I leave the switch on, turn motor off, then open door (which switches off automatically), only when the switch is turned off. It has drained my battery dead...

After searching the net and not finding any information on this decided to go it alone. Have read several threads on the poor quality headlights on the latest statesman & caprice models and was not happy myself with the high beam on my 2007 WM Caprice. Just to set things straight Holdens state...

Gday fellas i have a 94 VR exec and am having problems with my headlights. Now they turn on but not all the way, like they go into park but do not fully turn on. High beam works fine. I was on my way to work a few weeks ago while it was raining and noticed my wiper blades were going spastic, had...
