What year are you talking about? Vy and VX are not the same and need the european or australian headlights. VZ use the same as stock GTO.

From what I said in my post it seems you need to look up JHP vehicle enhancements, and do research on ls1gto.com to find out what you need to know.

The lights will have different illumination cut-off patterns than the US lights, due to the fact the Aussies and Brits drive on the "wrong" side of the road.

Why the desire to use the Australian assemblies in the first place?

Makes sense. The Lumina sold in the Middle East is LHD and should have the same as the GTO.

Okay....well it depends on the years, and the side of the car the steering wheel is on.

The GTO is the same as the VZ monaro and their bumpers interchange, but the australian cars' headlights are different because the steering wheel is on the wrong side for USDM so they have a different headlight cut off point.

You said you won't have to order parts if they're the same....so obviously you're trying to achieve something without buying unneccesary parts....if you told us what that was it would be easier to help you out.

Or you could do research like I said days ago and ask JHP.....

Then yeah you should have the same headlights as the GTO due to the illumination cutoff, if you want the RHD headlights you'd have to order australian ones.
