A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away. Or something.
I fitted these to my last Griff in about 2003 - Lexus style but nowhere near as subtle as what you're suggesting.
I think I prefer the standard Cavalier lights now, smoked GSi spec if possible.
I must be getting old - either that or the Griff is turning classic

Those were the ones i wanted, as they look great on a black griff, but they can't be sourced anymore.

Thats what I have fitted.. somehow on a red car the original ones blended in.. where as these look good IMO. I also have smaller spots on the front turned from ali to match the round housing design... not everyones taste but make it differant... and easily changed back Those were the ones i wanted, as they look great on a black griff, but they can't be sourced anymore.

Even the smoked Cav GSi lenses are getting rare.
My Jap Griff has standard Cavalier non-smoked lenses - don't look as good as the GSi ones.

Sorry, I vote for the Cavalier lights I'm afraid. it just sort of looks 'right'. The Griff is a really good looking car, I've got nothing against changing some of the mechanical bits to make it work better but changing the looks is a no-no for me. I never liked the SE changes but accept that they do command a rarity value.I fitted these to my last Griff in about 2003 - Lexus style but nowhere near as subtle as what you're suggesting.

Has anybody thought about getting a limited run of rear lights done?
All personal taste. Pete
can you also make the conversion to the later model like this?

When I repaired mine 12 years ago I finally found some smoked ones which I was told were the originals. When I compared a fragment of the originals they were not smoked. The Griff was 10 years old with 26k on the clock with no previous damage so I guess maybe both were used.
Both were used. The standard ones were standard and the smoked ones were an option, AFAIK.The smoked rear were usually used in combination with smoked front light lens covers.
