Hi everyone,
i thought this may be the best place to ask. Is it at all possible to put a NL fairlane front on to an EF (futura)? I understand that if it is possible i would need new grille, bumper, bonnet, lights, etc. If it's doable, how complicated is it? thanks heaps!  Last edited by mstref; 21-01-2006 at 05:45 PM.

yeh its do-able, as under the skin its all the same....(NL Fairlane front IS a fairmont front - just different grille)
you'll have to visit an auto elec to sort out the headlights though, wiring is slightly different |

yep, thats it.
im not sure if the mods to the wiring are hard, but it isnt much. jsut a resistor or something added... as the falcon headlights have a single filament globe for low beam(H1) and the fairmont/fairlane headlights have a dual filament globe(H4) |

Might want an in-dash switch so you can make use of the foglights too.

NFs and NLs don't have foglights. They are "corner lamps". They come on only when you use your indicators at the same time as your headlights are on to illuminate the approaching curb.

I stand corrected, I always thought they doubled up as fog lamps. You could certainly wire it that way. PS welcome.

Thanks for the welcome Trouty, and I hope I didn't sound like a know-it-all. It's just that I used to have an NF Fairlane. When I bought it I assumed they were foglights as well.

Hey guys, not to highjack the thread - sorta on same wavelength - is it possible to put the EF/EL Fairlane front onto the EF/EL Fairmont? They both look to have the same shaped grill, i just like the Fairlane grill better than the Fairmont.
Cheers. |

yes, thats what was meant by saying they are interchangable.
fairmont, fairlane and ltd have the same front, with ONLY a different grille to diferentiate the models |

Well, I found this wagon again, so I took a picture before it disapeared. A flat tyre has caused it to sit on the street for a couple of days now!
Sorry for thread mining and hi-jacking!

it doesn't look that out of place on a wagon.
