    not going to flame you because I had some on a VR a few years back, I went for the black ones and colour coded the centre garnish, looked ok, I mainly did it because NO ONE else at all had them over here in NZ.

    if anything go for the black ones.

    I had to laugh at wanting peoples personal opinions but if they aren't the same as yours you will disregard and do it anyway.

    I wouldn't have them myself but the altezzas look best on VT-VX I think. Darker lights with the chrome would probably look nice on a darker colored car but dunno bout lighter ones.

    He is asking which ones we think look better, he's getting one or the other either way. Sure, he might be learning one way but power of the people is why he is asking. Doubt he's disregarding anything...

    You asked for my opinion, I'll give it.

    Buy both altezza lights, and burn them. Its like ricing your commodore. Leave it to that bloke who drives the lancer and has a cannon.

    Personally, I would say they look out of place on a VS, because they don't match the rest of the car. You've got "high-tech" looking altezza's and the classic looking VS - it just seems mis-matched. Same goes for rims, and anything else on the car - it's the package that counts, not each part on it's own.

    But given that you've said you're going to do it anyway, I'd say the black looks slightly better.

    my opinion, go the clear stock lights, with coloured led globes(note: will need red reflectors somewhere on the rear of car for legalities) or get the calais stock lights, with clear indicator

    if you're definately going altezza style, then black would look better imo.
    if you're wanting different, as hakhawk said, consider the completely clear stock ones, they suit silver models well.
