Default Fairmont/GLi Headlights

Hey guys quick one

are EF Fairmont and GLi headlights the same ones, i.e. there is no difference in headlights between the models?

Cheers

Don't get the non genuine lights. There have been a number of cases of the non genuine lights melting due to the heat the globes put out.

EF/EL Fairmont, NF/NL Fairlane and DF/DL LTD lights are the same. IIRC EF and EL Gli & Futura lights are different.
