Hey nick, not sure, but you might have to get it from Australia.

Can give you a couple of numbers if you want. Have a mate coming back on the 14th Jan if you want can get her to bring one back.

Mark at Linden would be worth a call? See the link for Linden Special Vehicles on the HSV UK homepage.

Have a look on ebay.com.au.

I was scanning on friday night amd spotted a set from a VT/VX HSV.

I did a generric 'holden' and 'hsv' search on the friday when I found them.
I just did a quick search today and could find them, but there are hundreds of entries.

The guy looked like he had 'twanged' his motor as he was selling off lots of bits.

cheers

Thank god for relatives in AUS no luck yet but search has just started, bound to be common foglight to GM as don't think HSV would do special lights after all parts bin engneering for most manufacturers!!!

I had a VT 2 Clubby R8 in Oz (GTS in UK) I had to replace the front driving lights a couple of times (around $200 from memory) and got them easily from my local HSV dealer. I'm happy to get my mates at Watson Holden in Melb to email me a price including shipping to Uk if you like?

Ok, I will be more helpful!!
They are about $200 and are special to the HSV's. I recently picked one up for Jagsy for about $200-$220.
If HSVGTSCoupe's offer doesn't work out, drop me an email motomk@ls1.com.au and I will pick one up as I have to pick up a seperate HSV item anyway.
Watson Holden! I know where that is!

This was the response from my mates at Watson Holden..

"I am assuming that your mates car is a VX 02 GTS? Yes
you can buy the fog lights separately at $84.00 each, just let me know if you want one."

Sorry, I should know this, but is yours a VX or VT II GTS? (GTS-R in UK). Obviously it's plus postage so that cost depends on your choice. I'm off to Oz for a week late Jan but I'm sure there are quicker options?

Looking in the manual, the VT II R8 (UK GTS) has the same lights as the VT II GTS(UK GTS-R).

The number you are looking for is either
12C-970601 Think this is the drivers side << This is the one Jagsy got which is a drivers side.
12C-970602 think this is the Passenger side.
One is the Left hand side, one is Right hand side, however I have no idea from where you are supposed to judge which is left and which is right!!!!

On the VX, the GTS/R8/Clubbie/Senator all have the same light on both sides of the car, makes it a lot easier.
12C-1000601

Motomk is spot on (again). I brought one back from Oz but haven't fitted yet - my lens is cracked but is still working.

If anyone needs it urgently for MOT etc then I can help as long as you and I source the replacement - whcih is very easy to do.
