Gen 3 altezzas from procarparts.com

Can someone please post a link to a how-to for the installation of these lights on a 95 Max?


Thanks!

Take them outta the box, place them on the ground, put on some boots, and proceed to smash them... they should fit fine then!

j/k, have no idea

I would think so, and I would have no problem doing this, but I'm currently on TDY, and my wife is home alone with the car and the lights.

I'm trying to find instructions that are step by step so she doesn't screw it up.

Thanks.

wait till it's nice and warm out, so they're easier to take out. other than that, it's pretty self explanatory. if you have any problems, just ask on here and someone should be able to help you. g'luck

Is that a typo in your title?.. cause im pretty sure there is no such thing as a gen 3 altezza for our car. Gen. 2 only fit on 97-99s so if thats what you meant, they won't fit. Only the 1st gen altezzas were made for 95-96s. I would double check which ones you actually got before you have your wife remove the old tail lights.

It's more her car now than it is mine anyway, I've been gone so long.

Check out the website. They say gen 3, and they are for the 95-96.

I'm sure they're just like the 1st gen. A write up of an installation of those will do just fine.


Thanks.

I didn't see anything that said anything about Gen 3 Altezzas. The only 95-96 Altezzas are the 1st Gens......

But anyways, to install the new lights are easy. You will need an 10 or 8 mm deep socket wrench, I forget which one. You just peel back your inner trunk lining and go at it. There are 3-4 nuts per light unit. Once the nuts are removed, you need to carefully pry away at the light to "unstick" the black sealant. And install the new lights in reverse order. Make sure, if they supplied some, to use new sealant or your trunk may receive water when it rains.
