How much are these lights worth?

**Ozzie** · 13-04-2009, 06:30 PM

If you were after a set of these black altezza lights for VY

How much would you be willing to pay?

**Calaber** · 13-04-2009, 08:11 PM

Well, they look a heap better than the chrome ones. I guess the going price is about the same. $150 the pair?

**taztassio** · 13-04-2009, 08:11 PM

i would pay you to bin them.

or you pay me LARGE sums of money to install them on my car. even then ill kill myself

I wouldn't want them, but I think they look better than the standard VY Exec lights.

**Ozzie** · 13-04-2009, 08:17 PM

thats a bit harsh taztassio

they currently have a RRP of $300 - $350 a pair

Same price as the black altezza headlights

**Calaber** · 13-04-2009, 08:21 PM

In that case, they are overpriced. I purchased genuine VZ Calais lights for less than that brand new from my local Holden dealer.

**Ozzie** · 13-04-2009, 08:33 PM

I know what you mean...

I just bought a set of genuine CV8 tail lights brand new from my local holden for 120 with looms & globes.

Advertised elswhere there like 140 - 160

**VjamesY** · 13-04-2009, 09:18 PM

mmm id offer around 150-200, but dont have money atm,

i might have it buy the end of the week

**Mavr1k** · 13-04-2009, 11:14 PM

In the same boad as everyone else. Wouldn't want to spend more than $150-$200. With that said, im pretty happy with my standard SS lights

**Ozzie** · 13-04-2009, 11:42 PM

but what if you really really wanted a set and theres only one place that sells them?

would you part with the money to get what you wanted

**Lumps of cheese** · 14-04-2009, 06:44 AM

I'm sorry, but those lights look positively shithouse imo, i wouldn't pay $2 for them.

**STEALTHY™** · 14-04-2009, 07:14 AM

I'm waiting for the shameless plug of a business there ozzie......

I'd rather Calais or VZ SV6 lights.

Couple of issues here.

One - no matter how much I wanted them, the price is way over the top.
Two - who's the "sole trader"? Carsrus sell these things for way less than that and they are a forum sponsor. Have you consulted them?

**danja** · 14-04-2009, 08:19 AM

Definately not my cup of tea, but if I was in the market for them I'd probably pay around $150-200, same as all the other altezza tail lights. If only one place had them and was charging a rip off price, I'd buy a different set.

Try putting a few sets up on auction, see what the market says

**SAV_117** · 14-04-2009, 12:09 PM

i dont mind them i think they would go alright on a black car

**lil_mickey** · 14-04-2009, 12:23 PM

imho i like them... i wouldn't pay more than $150 though

But i dont have a VY so i wouldn't bye them...:P

lol im with you but didnt want to say it....

**CANYONERO** · 14-04-2009, 11:14 PM

i used to like the monaro lights on VT's, now every man and his dog has them and i dont like them, modyfy your car to look like everyone elses.

these look ok but they will be everywhere within a very short amount of time so i wouldnt pay anything for them.

maybe on ebay they should sell ricerpacks - free chev badges with every altezza sold

LMAO! True that.

And yeah I agree... when all the resellers get a hold of them they will be on every VY
IMO they look better than the chrome ones but still look like cheap crap.

I think the price will drop alot when the companys start selling them.

So you're selling these things with a buy it now price of over $350 yet you tell us on here they look like cheap crap?
Are they ADR approved or are they chrome ones with some black paint slapped in? (which would effectively void their ADR approval...)
