you won't find them on eBay.. you'll need to trawl the Facebook groups for vectra's there are a few guys that make them and cost around 200 pounds but they have the latest stuff in there so those drl led strips, double projectors led everything if you want and different colour schemes to match the oem paint on the car... so if you have a FB account start adding yourself to those vauxhall and vectra-c groups... or send or resident paint guru @newboy a PM and ask him to sort your headlights out, as he has done them before.

So today i did Quite a bit to my Veccy Lets start off with The main issue that God ugly Rust patch on the boot door First took off the number plate at the back that was a pig as the screws rusted so much the grooves was missing but i managed it and started by grinding the rusted area it pained me to basically Scratch my Paintwork But I held my tears and did what i needed to do
Next i treated the area in rust solution and added Putty stuff Then after that dried painted And the Result is .......better then before but you can see where the rust used to be close up pictures below

I was planning on doing that but i have done this before on my old golf mk3 vr6... long story short i hated the time it took to do all the lights in the dash and doors so i decided against it. and to be fair i don't even mind the orange lights... if it was green as in my golf mk3 vr6 i would do it as i really hated the green lights (i still do, the only green light i like is the one that gives me the go a head on traffic lights )
