questions about Altezzas for 95-96
Somehow I was under the impression that the turn signal dot in the center of the outer circle was amber. However, the ones I've seen in person are red. VERY difficult to see when in use--what were these guys who designed them thinking? I have also heard that more than one company makes these--could it be that one of them has the amber signal?
Also, is there a simple way to wire the side marker lights so that they behave the way the rewired front corners do? That would be ON when lights are on, then alternate flashing when the turn signal is engaged. I'm guessing the same mods for the front would work, but...
I'm itching to get them now, after seeing what Sexima did--painting them to match the body color. Very good look. And the chrome ones have come down a lot on eBay, now that the black chrome and carbon fiber versions are out. "carstuff4u2000" has dutch auctions for $139 (usually 10 in the lot, so you'll get one at that price). The workmanship is kind of shoddy (you can see imperfections), but if you are planning to repaint them then they'll work out well.

the smaller circle inside the bigger circle is the reflector...on the outer lights...the top or bottom will be brake and vice versa will be turn...that one big red circle is basically brake and signal...

yes it's possible...
