imo, yellow is the best light for driving in the country.

buy a good set of Philips lights and clean your headlights with Meguiars PlastX

but the ones your looking at look alright, apart from the no-brand

Try Rob at Volatile? its worth getting a good brand, and you dont need commodore specific, any H4 kit is what you want. also low HID kits piss people off. i had them in my escort, every 2nd car flashes you.

Already got Philips CrystalVision or some shit in there at the moment, not happy. Went for a drive in a mate's VN w/HIDs, was very impressed.

Will have a chat with Rob and go from there, thanks for the pointers :)

Give us a call mate... I'll be happy to sort you out.

Those Jaycar kits use our old ballast design from 3-4 years ago. They were horribly unreliable. Jaycar approached our factory 12 months ago and bought what was left for a pretty good price.

Glad I don't need to sort the warranty claims out :)

Yeah, spend the little extra and get Rob's Phillips HIDs.

I had the China spec HIDs first. They failed after a little over a year and I replaced them with the phillips. Very Satisfied

Slightly off-topic, but if your headlight glass is turd, I have a pair of brand-new VN headlights that I might sell :) Shoot me a PM if keen.
