I was planning on getting the altezzas and doing this paint mod:

But since I never seen the altezza's turn signals on before and I'm assuming the turn signals are the side markers the guy painted over... I don't know about other people but I would imagine I would need a turn signal light for the rear. And if I leave out that side marker part from the paint job then it won't look as nice... Hope I'm making sense. Let me know what your thoughts are... TIA!

Here's an example of the altezza's I plan on getting:

Your talking about the little light bulb on the side??? Man I did my altezza's (skyline mod) and the guy at the shop didnt cover those lights, I havent seen them do anything, so I plan to cover them up soon.

Ok, cool, so which tail light act as turn signals then? The outer all red ones? The ones w/o the reverse light?

the turn signal is the outer side of the outer tail light (all red one).

by the way, those are kinda expensive for gen. 1 altezzas. you should be able to pick them up cheaper in the for sale forum, or even eBay. good luck, post pics up when you're done.

Yeh, I've noticed that too... but the cheapest I could find on ebay is for $75 plus $18 for shipping. Was planning on getting the gen 2 ones but heard it doesn't fit 95 and 96 max'es... in regards to the turn signals, so it's that small area near the bottom of the outer tail light? but that's the part I need to paint over if i want the skyline look.

check the Parts-For-Sale forum and post a Wanted thread.

No. that little one is like a side marker; I'd paint over it and disconnect the bulb. the turn signal is on the outer tail light. if you're looking at it, it's a big red circle- the left side (or the outer side) is the turn signal. it's different from the inners because the inners are divided upper (reverse) and lower (brake i think). the outers are divided left and right. Kinda confusing, hope it helps.

p.s. if you're confused, let me know. i'll photoshop a pic after work.

get gen 2's look better painted. hell look better period.

Ukyo

Cool, thanks felix822, i got what you're trying to say... I just never saw it in person... I'm going to order the altezzas soon

Torgus, I know the gen 2's look better but from what I heard, the inner tail lights won't fit my 95 max... and i'm aiming for the skyline tail light look so the gen 1's look better for that purpose...

i will be taking before and after photos... will post it up once my car is fixed up... hehehe Thanks everyone

You're correct. There aren't Gen 2's made for 95-96's, or I think a lot more people would have them. 95-96 taillights in general are why a lot of people have Altezza's and not red/clear's...
