    Default Aftermarket VT Headlights?

    Firstly... a lot of eBay sellers say there headlights they are selling are ADR approved it this normally the case or do they lie a lot about this?

    Secondly... I've got a black VT commodore which do you think suite better?

    VT SERIES 2 & VX EXE CHROME ALTEZZA CLEAR HEAD LIGHTS - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 17-Sep-08 22:07:06 AEST)

    or

    VT-VX Commodore Altezza Head Lights - CHROME - Pair - eBay Headlights, Lights, Indicators, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 15-Sep-08 19:40:11 AEST)?

    I'm sick of the original head lights on my car?... and is there a difference for headlights series 1 vs series 2 of the VT?

    thnks

    ADR stipulates rules to the design of headlights suitable for cars in general. So if the headlamp manufacturer claims that their headlamps design is ADR approved, the manufacturer would have to show either a compliance registration or test certificates stating approval for the headlamp.

    Holden on the other hand will recommend whether the headlamp will be suitable for use on the VT models. It will then be up to the installer and owner to adjust the headlamps to suit driving conditions within the road rules. I have found that if you stick to the original headlamps, the service manual will give a good guide and tolerance to adjusting your headlamps. But if you decide to use after-market components, the guide may or may not be of any use.

    There is not a difference in headlights between series 1 or 2. Its only in the rear lamps which is mostly cosmetic.

    The picture in the second link isnt very clear so its hard to compare.
