CHROMIES. but u'l get sik of em real quick. so don't sell the stockies or nothin stupid coz next u'l wanna put stocks and tint.

[Raging Bull]

Stay with the stockies, nothing worse than Commodores turing into Lancer look alikes.

[Patrio7]

get some acclaim tailights they have frosted indicators and full red stop lights i thnk they look the best.

[semmi]

standard all the way, if you want a car you should buy a honda, don't turn your commo into one!

[Charg'd]

black ones or tint the stockies

[spacattack]

dont disgrace the name of holden or for that matter commodore buy puttin something that a ricer doesent even look good with on ya car man ( <<<<< used to have a set for lancer i had lol) trust me man ya get sic of em very fast keep ya old ones and tint em nuttin better and tuffer than seein a VR commoy with tinted lights

[2_SeeK_U]

Stock only.

I have the black back ones on for a year when they came out and it was alright cos there was only a handful of other cars with them, l had people come up to me to ask where l had got them from!! But now, they're on stock commies which just cheapens the whole look.

as everyone else has said, tint the originals...

[patullose]

How do u tint original Tail Lights?

[2_SeeK_U]

Just go down to your local supercheap and grab yourself a can of niteshade. Then prep the lights, getting off the oils and crap. Then just spray as many layers as you want... don't go too crazy though.

I'm selling my altezza lights by the way, pm me if your interested.

[spacattack]

you could do that but thats illegal your better off goin to your local panel beater and gettin them to spray them in 2pac black ( is it srays out clear ) theres a thread on it somewhere in here and that choise isnt illegal

Depends what state your in.

NSW l think its aslong as they can be seen from 200m away and don't change appearence or colour over that distance then its legal.

[spacattack]

oh ok didnt know that lol :P but be better paintin it in 2pak cause itll go darker than nightshades but wont loss any lighting

im not sick of my chromies like everyone seems to think you will be. go the dark ones on a dark car. i am so sick of people drilling people into the ground over the clear lights, they are so passionate you dont here the people with the clear lights saying, "ricey or not, atleast it doesnt look like grandads car"

i agree with you tenfold people can also consider 19" rims on a 15" car rice blue parkers are also rice but i see alot of those around too im gettin blac altezzas on my rubens red commie if people dont like it they can eat my shorts

[throttlehappy]

clear taillights
they look terrible

[hakhawk]

why not these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HOLDEN-COMMOD...QQcmdZViewItem

subtle like the vn "lexcen" ones. not as excessive as the altezze style

and no, theyre not lexcen ones, these are lexcen ones: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Holden-Commod...QQcmdZViewItem

Those are standard tail lights for VR/VS Acclaim, Berlina and Calais? I think that's already been suggested before, but yeah I reckon they are the best look for a VR/VS.

[hakhawk]

yeh, i thought they might've been off a higher model, just dont see them often. they look cleaner and suit the car more than the altezza ones

[semmi]

you can also get them online at www.ozeparts.com.au

one of the reasons people go for the altezza lights though is because of the cost. the std tail lights, especially the reflectors, tend to fade, so people look to replace them.

you can pick up a full set of 4 altezza lights for anywhere around $200-$300 or even less. a set of the standard ones with yellow blinkers is more than that, and even more for the clear blinkers (and i gave away a pair recenly lol)

personally i think its worth the cost coz i just don't like those altezza ones. they are cheap and IMO they look it too!

what i would love are ones like the std ones with the clear blinkers, same style but mirrored inside, like more modern tail lights are. that would look really good i reckon!

oze parts, $125 EACH for the acclaim tailights? pass!

i must remember to rummage though a wrecker one day for a nice non cracked set. i could even get away with just the lens. i wonder how it'd look with a light tinting on the stop light and leave the reverse / indicator clear.

I've got the chrome lights on mine and the chrome aftermarket headlights aswell. Mate one piece of advice to you, its YOUR car and YOU are the one who at the end of the day has to be happy. If you like them, get them. If you don't, then don't..... but if you worry about what other people are gunna think then there's no point. Do things for yourself, not anybody else.

oh yeah, they are pricey for sure... they do look nice when they are brand new though!

your idea for the half tinted lights actually sounds pretty good!!
