Take a lookin the drivers side rear corner of the engine bay beside the brake master cylinder reservoir, IIRC its the horn for the cars security system.

The part number should be on the upper horizontal surface of the headlight on the black plastic part, in the pics you've put up they look like they'll be hidden under the plastic of the front end "module".
Ballasts? what ballasts? The headlights on SWB Commodore variants are all standard halogen bulbs, regardless if projector type or not, IIRC H7 and H9.
The only time the VE range got HID headlights was in the statesman/Caprice range, easily identified by a black trapezoidal panel midway along the bottom edge of the headlight lens where the headlight washer unit was mounted.

That filler hose, on VE's, had a reputation for splitting.... used to keep 3-5 on the shelf at all times.
