Ordering headlights from Australia
Does anybody have any experience with ordering headlights from Australia? And do the Commodore headlights bolt directly into our cars?

Re: Ordering headlights from Australia
their head lights are set up for driving on the wrong side of the road and right hand drive , so they point towards the other side of the road from ours
you want the headlights from the UAE , they are set up like ours
and i wouldnt trust their listing , the commodore is the smaller G8/VE and SS/VF and VF II , the caprice is a STATESMAN/CAPRICE WM and WN

Thanks for the info
Re: Ordering headlights from Australia
Also keep in mind there are aftermarket headlights available in AU for the caprice. People have ordered them and without fail an internal adjuster part is always broken. They somehow get them working but I do not think they are built to survive the journey. So make sure you know if you are buying GM parts or aftermarket.
However if you get the Factory Holden/GM genuine parts or the aftermarket they wire up the same as long as they are the standard Halogen lights.
They have another option in AU and that is for Xenon HID capsules. Those require larger wires on the power to the ballasts. You can usually identify those capsules from pictures as they have the small triangle of black in the lower part of the lens that is for the washer system.

Challenge remains getting OEM lights via Holden into US, with no DOT "approved" lens markings. OEM PPV lights are made by Hella, if I could choose what I would like to have, it's the "black" trim - GM 92252984 & 92252985, if any can be found....exclusive Middle East parts.
These headlamps use H7 bulbs for both low & high beams.
