yeah i've tried to align them, i know how to do that its just once i get to a certain point the headlights don't re-adjust anymore, they sit high even after i've put them as low as i can...

I have a pearl white (95 GT-L) Soarer and I am trying to decide whether chrome/clear or black Altezza style tail lights look better. Same for replacement head lights, chrome or black (i.e. Projector LED Halo). Suggestions anyone? Which do you think looks the best? They all look great.

Hey Earl, I had black altezza tails on mine for about a year and got sick of the look, IMO they make the car look too ricey and cheap, especially the chrome altezzas, they look worse haha so sold off my black altezzas and opted for the smoked tails instead, that i bought off Costas GB last year... much, much nicer IMO.... but for your Soarer being white i would suggest either clear/crystal or smoked tails like what I have now matched with black halo headlight and high beams...but thats just my 2c. but Each to there own hey!

Perfect! This is exactly the opinion I am looking for thank you Dave. Yeah the prices for both front LED Projector styles and Altezza (style) tails are right down now. Will search for 'Smokey' tails.
Did any of you have to install a load compensating resistor to avoid any dash error messages (for head or tails & if so was it simple)?

By the way... Dave, the Smoke tails I have found on eBay look rather dark? So am I correct in saying dark was better on your (totally sick looking) ride? I am definitely going away from clear / chrome. Now the question is how dark a tail will suit pearl white...

Lol Shay, they look good on your ride though mate! I just didnt want the SUPRA look anymore. also Earl the altezzas will flash fast as they use less bulbs than the original (4 globes instead of 6) where as the clear crystal/smoke ones use the same wiring and and amount of globes as original 91-93's

yeah Earl they look darker on that ebay pic there
here's what mine look like during the day, not that dark really....
the clear ones look good on a white Soarer though... seen this one on one of our Perth Christmas cruises a couple years ago.

Sorry to dredge this topic up a little, and hijack it slightly...but are the front black headlights legal for use in Australia? or is this a grey area....

The ones in US eBay is illegal, the ones sold by an australian vendor (also on eBay but australian section) are "less" illegal as they are modified for right hand drive usage.

Thank you all for the feedback. Here is my before and after picture..
I had a melt down (aka~ 'the-brown-smell') in the Lamp Failure Module so the left driving lamp isn't working.. I have Luke Gomer's tried & proven work around just need to do it. These are via eBay USA. I had snapped one of the bolts as they were not well placed and even had to drill out one of the locater holes. Had to seal the top of the light module with tape because water was going in. Else all good. Very bright and shiny. Still have not decided on the front lights yet... will buy locally.
