With that brand of tail lights iv had two sets of them. The first leaked in about 4 weeks, they replaced them with ones that leaked after about 2 months. If it has 'burg design' written on it with like a little castle then there is chance they might end up leaking. I got sick of it and got lunar ones which are much better quality and have never leaked. The wiring looms that came with the burg ones look like a chimp had made them.

The first thing that popped into my mind when i saw them was Fairlane Ghia. I would love to see them on a car with a chrome grille, i think they would match a bit better. Still nice though.

Problem with changing your lights to look different to everyone else is that everyone else is doing it too! Half the VR Commos around town here all have standard lights, the other half all have the exact same aftermarket ones. Doesn't seem worth it to me....

I like them. Much cheaper than a full XR front end change - though the full XR treatment looks waaaaay better, but these are certainly better than standard.

well mine are the first dark round fronts like that I've ever seen on an AU... and the only place I've seen them available is on Ebay, so I don't think I'll have to worry about them become too common... for awhile anyway...

Low and high beam are run off the same adjuster ... so you are unable to adjust them seperately.
