IIRC, we have 4 styles

Omega/SV-6/SS share
Berlina has its own
Calais/Calias V share (as pic'd above)
SS-V has its own.(standard on US cars?)

But IIRC you need a new rear bar cover for Berlina or the Calais lights as they are larger and cut down further into the bar. (I'm not sure about modding the original though)

I belive the SSV is slightly different from the US version... something about a reflector.

nice find!! Yeah looks like they sit alot lower so a direct swap is out of the question... those are some sweet looking tails though!!

Holden tail lights do not have the red reflector on the side, nor do they have anything (LED??) for remote start.
