@@MeatballGarage lol my Commodore is old so it was simple. Just 2 screws. Unfortunately the new globe isn't working so it must be something else causing the stop light to fail. Oh well 😜 I had to edit this in.... i replaced the wrong side with a new globe 😂😂😂😂🇦🇺
@@nicolestewart hahah ah dear! Don't worry - you have never really worked on a car until you pull a move like that! My own stuff ups are pretty much the premise of this channel! Glad you got it sorted though - nice work!
@@MeatballGarage I used to work on my old datsun 180b that car was so powerful. Hehehehe these days I only do car detailing and simple jobs. I have had a few mechanics rip me off when I have supplied the parts for the job etc. They don't realise I freaking know a thing or 2 about cars and try to tell me what the car needs and I'm like nope I don't need a new battery I have a charger at home. Nope I don't need new tires for rego, it's within the legal limits. Nope I don't need new wiper blades for a rego check. Gosh! Any way I always need to learn more hence I subed to you 😁
G'day Alexandru! Thanks mate - glad it could help you! The globe holders can be fiddly some times for sure - but well done in getting it all done! I hope your boot liner looked better than my old Calais! Cheers!
Cheers Ben! Ah it never went back in the way it came out - That liner was cooked from 2011 and never behaved since :) You must have better luck than i did haha!
This worked nicely except my tail light bulb does not rotate to remove it is one of those bulbs that is inserted like a sd chip. It says it's a 12-volt 21 - 5 watt made by a Wagner x 443
Nice mate! Never seen a bulb connector like that on a GM car before - are your tail lights similar to these or are they after markert? Cheers mate and thanks for watching!
G’day Austin - There you go! I thought globes were universal! Maybe just different naming conventions - I cant see GM being the cheapskates they were making specific globe holders for each market! Cheers mate!
G'day Jas - ah there you go! Build quality was never a strength on these things. I mean it always improved with each model but never matched some of the German/euro competition. Cheers!
Just a quick 'how to' on changing your rear globes on a VE/G8. Hopefully this is helpful for you - Let us know!! Cheers 👍
Thank you for this! My G8 is properly legal again

Good guide! I managed to change brake bulb without having to remove trim at rear - just pulled down side trim and could get at it.
Cheers mate! Glad you found it useful - and found a quicker way to do it as well!
Thanks for the vid, just changed the brake lights on my SV6 🙏
Nice Ayden! Glad it could help out mate! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Omg thanks. I’ve been driving around for ages with the break light out. 👍
Ah fantastic Nicole, glad this helped! Hopefully your boot liner went back in better than mine!
Cheers!

Thank you for video. Btw the boot lining tucks into the boot rubber and doesn't hang out.

My left interior trim doesn't fit at the top just like that. Only the left side, not the right side.

Holden Commodores tail lights always filled up with water, looked cool but not practical.
GM were always so innovative haha!
Ignore the body. 😂
