Just a quick question on the subject of headlights - I take it 94-99 PFL lights won't fit the 99-00 FL cars.
If not, can they be made to fit, or the panel work altered to suit the lights?

FL started with MY2000

Think they will fit, but look poor as the shape is different to match the different bonnet lines.

I believe both cars have the same wings so a change of grille, bonnet & bumper would probably do it ie face lift front ...... but then it's look like an Astra G

Had an Rasta G as you know, Andy - my FL looks nowt like one!

OK, so physically, the earlier lights would screw into a facelift without issue, but the contour of the lens is different to suit the bonnet, that right?
Can one fit FL lenses to PFL headlight bodies?
If you know what I mean!

Never tried, but I'd not be surprised if they did. GM altered the lens of the Astra F when they fitted the 'V' grille but used the same headlight body

there's definitely a 'family look' between the two cars

Am I missing something?  Why not just fit the correct lights?

Pete is a Yarkshire man ... I suspect there's a cost saving somewhere     

[pedroMV6]

Not at all, but I want some black lights, and crap with spray cans.
I can't find any to fit a facelift, but shedloads for a PFL, hence my question.

Anyone got an old PFL headlight so I can try it?

[pedroMV6]

Nobody?
