Default How much?

I know it's E-series but meh....

how much would BA XR6 headlights cost do you think? Picked up a XR6 front bar so might consider doing a XR6 front conversion on the wagon.

Anything else involved other than changing the headlights and grille? If I'm gonna have to start cutting and drilling parts of the car I don't wanna know about it.

the XR6 lights will fit fine, the housing and reflector is exactly the same as falcon and territory, just different lens and insert to differentiate the models

the bar should fit up fine as well... i doubt there are any extra holes that you'd be needing...

talk to The Dok on the forums...
he runs a headlight joint in dandy, and has also converted the front of his AU wagon to ba, and fitted an XR front........so he'd know for sure

because its not worth the hassle fixing it when the insurance co would have possibly allowed them a new one.

also, these days a fair amount of panelshops dont like using reconditioned stuff......theres too much hassle in it....

good luck with it doug...
