So I know these have been around for a while now so I just wanted to get some feedback on the quality and fitment of these, as the prices they are going for on eBay are a bit hard to resist in comparison to the genuine items... So yea basically just asking how do they fit in terms of gaps and what not, and how is the plastic i.e. is it beginning to yellow or anything??? Thanks Guys!

i got the headlights about 6 months ago and they havent missed a beat - no problems with them at all, definitely recommend them as they're half the price of genuine ones

they're all the same type - i got mine from i think it was justcomm wreckers or someone but they get them from a factory close by so he sent me to them....so basically find the cheapest one :p

as for fitting, yeah you have to take the bumper off and swap over the globes, not too hard of a job

Too easy then, I'm just going to go for them cause even if they don't last as lond and go yellow in like a few years they'll still be worth it considering how cheap they are... I'd really like to know if anyone has the aftermarket SS tail lights though as well ay cause you definitely can't go one without the other ;)

Hey Sam, from what I've heard they look exactly the same as the genuine items!

yeah i got the non genuine taillights and they are great with no difference that i can tell to the originals. i got quoted over $500 from a holden dealer so your better off going with these i reckon
