    ok. just looking at the box for a brand.in which there is none.the label on the box says there for a vl sedan 1984?-1988. made in taiwan plastered all over it. i'll get sum pics up tomoro.but pretty much plastic is of very poor quallity and is dull in colour.moulding procces has left plastic burs .theres overspray from being painted and some stripes have been omitted entirley(calais lights).colour of the lense's are very dull and the mounting holes dont even line up with the car.

    i have sourced some other lights by another manufacture thru vl projex, there TYC brand and i really cant fault em.

    ive been back to rare spares and have returned them for credit

    i had this happen when i got an aftermarket headlight unit for my vp from a wrecker, burrs all over it, the knob to change the beam was impossible to use and when i put it in, i couldn't get the indicator unit in next to it.

    that said, my radiator is a nobrand aftermarket part, and it's sweet as.
