ALtezza Problem

I just picked up a set of Altezza's for my 95 and was wondering what the little bulb in the corner of each altezza is. I never noticed it lit up with the OEM Tails, but it does have a bulb. I am just wondering what exactly it is for
Thx

I found the problem....it's called getting altezza's.
HAHAHA. Nah, j/k..I got them too. Put in a red 194 bulb and you'll look good and be legal.

No i am wondering what they are for? Like i have never noticed them on when they were stock and I still dont have a clue what they are for. Like all of the lights work, just like they did with OEM. The turn signals work, the regular tails work, the reverse lights work. All together there are 4 pieces for the altezza. For the pieces on the body, not the trunck, there are 3 bulbs per piece. 2 are connected by the same wires. The 3rd bulbs is on the corner, that is the one i am confused about. There is a clear bulb in there now, and i am wondering what it is supposed to do

i took out the little bulb for the corner. you can actually purchase some red led for those corner at custommaxima.com. i thought it'll look cleaner without it. there is a picture of my altezza at night without the little corner bulb. check it out see if you like it or not.

good luck!

Ah, those lights are just clearance lights. You can take them out or leave them in. Just remember, white lights on the back will more than likely get you pulled over.

it is almost a side marker light. put a red in it to avoid trouble with the police. just be sure to take out the clear bulb cuz that is no good.

dont be a civic wanna be with your altezzas. go to paintscratch.com and buy your color max aerosol can and clear coat, than paint them except the 4 circles throw out that stupid light and pretend your driving a skyline. altezzas are for ricers. have a real custom whip.
