First, I have done this on VX,VY and VZ. Should also work for VR/VS/VT. Colour codes may vary so check your manual or do a bit of testing before you wire it up the way I have done in the diagram.
I have been asked a few times as to why wiring up a set of spotties or driving lights can't be done the normal way on a Commodore. The main reason is that the newer style Commodores us what is called "positive switching". Simple terms mean that the switch / line have constant power so wiring up extra lights to work off the high beam in a conventional way will not work.
Follow the diagram below to install a set of spot lights or driving lights. Ensure you have a switch installed so as to remain compliant with state / territory regulations (separate switch for on/off accessory lights when high beam is activated)
*This can also be used for installing fog lights using the park light circuit, check the colour coded wires in your manual*
Hope this can help some of you who do long distance driving.
