Some people here have bought some in and I was just wondering about the quality and how well they are holding up in our sunny climate as in cracking,crazing or fadingas some Brazillian stuff is crap.
How much were they again?as I want to bring crystal rears and clear fronts in,or can I get them in OZ somewhere?

The quality is not there and there not UV rated , let alone meet ADR rules .

I have a set but the bus isn't finished so I dunno how they hold up. Why not just import 1 set of each, check em out, and you can make up your mind then?

we are getting them in very soon, on our shipment arriving this month. If you want to take a look, come down. At the price, if they crack after `6 months throw them away and buy another pair.

um, just one thing while i remember with the rears, if the clear rear lights for the late bays are the same as mine they will ONLY fit the brazilian housings, as the screws are in slightly different spot to standard. just thought better keep that in mind.
