hey guys, check this out.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-CALAIS...#ht_500wt_1156 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-CALAIS-HEADLIGHT-LENSES-L-R-NOS-/230652149106?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b3f07d72#ht_500wt_1156) What a joke. Do these people actually thing anyone will seriously fork up the $500 for JUST lenses? I'm sure anyone with a HDT would even source cheaper lenses to replace..

Unreal LOL. You can buy the whole thing from rare spares for $94. http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespa...S+%2 6+LENSES (http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/SearchPage.aspx?type=partsfinder&pno=0&brand=HOLDEN&model=VL+COMMODORE&car=17L&productgroup=LAMPS+%26+LENSES) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Seen RH ones for $800 and LH for $180 NOS

I paid $300 for mine from recollection a few years back. That's for two lenses NOS. If you want to go aftermarket. Go for it. I'd prefer the original ones with the Holden logo for my HDT resto any day.

hturbo - thats 1g for a set of complete gmh nos headlights. i have some genuine new lenses in my shed. paid 200 for em. not worth fitting to my car but i'll hold them for now.

i take it kassman in on the dole and he has aftermarket one on his car cheap sh1t ---------- Post added 19-08-11 at 12:26 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Kasman88 [View Post] hey guys, check this out.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-CALAIS...#ht_500wt_1156 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VL-CALAIS-HEADLIGHT-LENSES-L-R-NOS-/230652149106?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b3f07d72#ht_500wt_1156) What a joke.

The difference is, you open the box and you know the parts are going to fit first time and without hassle Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

^ spot on

if u look dj_drs is actually the ebay seller

They're still not worth $500 no matter what anyone says. 2nd hand ones will come up like new when restored. i would pay no more than 250 for a genuine set. give kasman88 a break.. it is a completely valid point he is making.

I wouldnt pay more then $50 i can think of better things to spend $500 on like cocaine or something

haha yeah i would only pay what i said if it was for a completely mint restoration that would sit in the garage for it's whole life. $500 is just ridiculous and to be honest i would be both embarrassed and ashamed if i had a set and was asking that much for them.
