    you have to ask yourself though mate, how much would a wreckers or even holden sell these for? 120 bucks + postage seems alittle steep for something that isn't genuine, however if this doesn't bother you, then yea they look just alike.

    Genuine is even more expensive. It's ridiculous the price they charge and 90% of the lights down at my wreckers are typical and faded.

    i wouldnt buy them. just keep a good eye out for some 2nd hand ones worth buying. they are hard to find with matching reflectors and no lens fade.

    I've been on the look out for genuine calais ones in good nick for a while. Maybe i'll get the ebay ones...

    No offense Red but i'd rather unbuckle my seat belt and plow my car directly into Super Cheap for selling those lights. They're an absolute abortion.

    the non genuine ones, i wouldnt hessitate to pay that.. how much is GMH moulded on the plastic really worth?

    you have the option of second hand ones from a wrecker, ebay, or private sale, sometimes its nice to get a new part for your prized possession. depends how defectable your current ones are now.

    Genuine will cost an arm and a leg, and it took me months to find a non-faded 2nd hand pair.
    If I'd seen these a couple years ago I would have snapped them up in a heartbeat.

    The worst that can happen is that they might be built on the cheap and you have to seal them up in a year or so

    i like my altezza's...each to their own im not an inferior person than anyone else here just because they are my preference...i admit in the beginning i didnt like them at all but like Red78 says the VR is one model they can look good on...but for $120 youd be getting ripped you can always find decent s/hand ones at swapmeets for around $20-50...ive bought 2 different sets one at Morrisett and the other at Gosford swapmeets and each ones cost me $10 a set...and thats all 4 lights per set...look around you'll find good ones...

    i had an old VR calais that had faded tail lights. i just tinted the red part real dark and put red coloured stop/tail bulbs in so they lit up proper. it actually looked quite nice and stylish with near black and clear.
