    Ive heard talk of these clear headlights, Altezza I believe.

    Ive looked them up and they seem interesting, especially since 90% of VR/VS standard headlights suck donky ........ anyway.

    Anyone got them on there car? what are they like? better visability?

    will newer model headlights fit the VR/VS range, since ive barely even touched a VT let alone had a look at the shape/size of the headlights i have no idea.

    Any local sellers in Melbourne?

    You can only use VR/VS headlights.

    Best getting them off Ebay, DEPO ones though. In stores they are ridiculously expensive.

    The visibility is the same between new VS headlights and the altezza ones I think, mine made little difference.

    I heard from another member that they tend to crack at the reflector. I'm not sure if that thread is still there. I'm not sure if this common or and isolated case of cracked reflectors.

    they look nice too.

    Cracking at the reflector? if they do that 'd just ghet the ol heat gun out, unstick the old glass from the old headlights, have the reflector resurfaced and stick the clear glass on with silicone.

    But i'd hope it doesn't crack. Thank you for the reply, i'll have to work out how to use ebay. yes, shamefully I have no idea.
