just bought a HID kit and im also gonna do this to my headlights to get an even brighter light haha good write up mate i might try this out in the next few weeks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just a quick question i have always been able to remove headlights on earlier model commodores how do you remove the headlights on a vl, It seems that where the bumper is on top there is another mould which needs to come off. Or do you just remove the entire front bar so you have clear access to remove the headlights. I understand that there are 2 screws on the rad support panels but the small panel on top of the bar stops the light from sliding out. can someone post a pic and some info in how to remove the lights without busting anything because my cars moulds are spot on and i dont want to break anything. Thanks Guys and cheers

Remove the grill, remove the centre bumper moulding which has 2 clips under where the grill was and also a bolt on the underside in each corner. You will then see the 4 screws/bolts which hold the headlight in place (2 top, 2 bottom). Then its just a matter of unplugging it and wiggling it out

Thanks for the info i will give it a shot 2moro, It's nice to have brandnew NOS headlights sitting in the garage for nearly 5 years it's now time to put them to good use on a really good car.

its not a good feeling is it.

hey do any of you guys know if they have bad reflectors can the car still get a roadworthy? not sure if i have time or money yet to do that's all.. its the same thing you cant tell if they are on when driving on a lit road..

Keeping this thread in the land of the living.... I replaced my headlights on the weekend, way better than the originals. I've kept the TYC glass on for now as the originals aren't in the best shape and need some work. 2 things I found using the complete aftermarket setup: The dust cover that goes on the back where the wires feed through is now loose, I had to tape it on to make it stay in place. Also, the little white pieces that hold the parker globes are not supplied with the aftermarket lights, and my originals were perished (hard, cracked, and just fell apart when I touched them). For now I've had to use tape to bulk up the globe holder so it fits snug and stays in place. I'm about to start the hunt for the piece in question, anyone know if they are still around, and where to get them?

The only realistic way to fix these is to replace the lens and lamp as an assembly. I was dismayed that the latest Nissan Navaras headlights are as good as the VL's when they are in good condition. The VY's headlamps crap all over them.

Dammm it , now I'm curious to see how mine are as i know my right head light chrome is all peeled off is tyc really that bad ... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Will hopefully do this this weekend coming..
