    Any before and after pics of the altezza headlights anyone?
    Or any in general, also I take it they're projector lights, how do they work for visibility/performance?

    Ahah I want somebody to do it for mine too lolz, too much random crap
    Yeah sweet, thought so because they don't diffract, they'd be reflecting and/or refracting

    Lol from a distant they look like they are broken ;) my opinion of the Altezza headlights is depending on the colour of the car they look good. Burgundy suits them or most dark colours. i have seen a nice resprayed blue vs running about with them in and they look nice. i think the fallback is the Altezza tailights. im debating myself to get a pair of these ones. they would suit as i said before, the darker coloured commodores, but if i can give them a slight tinting just so they dont stand out like dogs balls....

    Not a big of any Altezza tail lights but as said above the head lights do have a nice clean look,

    Ebay, Commodore Lights Direct (a sponsor on the forum) does them too.
    I used to like those clear tailights that you showed a pic of, but not sure. In WA pretty sure you need red reflectors somewhere on the back of the car too
