i have them on mines and they are nice to me. dont be afraid to be different . alot of org members here like to Dic* ride. especailly the new ones. if deezo,ceasar, mzmtg,affiro,etc.. or some other popular member said they were hot then alot of people would jump high on the band wagon. do what you like to your car, cause if you dont then your car will look like everybody else's on here.


can every have there own mind please and stop riding

are you babbling about? Why do you care if people sackride on someone else? Jealous cuz it's not you?

Like I said, I wouldnt spend anything on stupid taillights...total waste of money that doesnt set any car apart from the rest.

I spent $3.99 on paint and my tails are 100% satisfactory to me. No one else in local area has done this mod either.



If someone feels that it's necessary to spend $180 on taillights...they have serious issues.

Thats hott man....I have 2nd gen altezza ones and at night they have a buncha LEDs in a circle like the skyline lights and they look pretty hot but I think I want something new.....did you just follow the steps in the How to's or is that something different....your pics makes the "white" part look more clear.

It's really easy to do, and yes vqpower.com has a write up, but I did it on my own.

My pics make what white part look more clear? The reflection of the flash may have caused that - also it was taken at night.

They might be a good candidate for a project. But they stick out too much for my taste.

If you are going to paint them why not save a bunch of $$$ and buy a set of Altezza's much cheaper on ebay or a used set from a fellow org'r in the classifieds?

Word of advice, if your gonna get the tailights from ebay don't buy from RXteam!!! I order tailLights on the 1-26 and i still have not receive CRAP. They said they were out of stock, then they told me it would take 2-3 weeks, then they said the product was defected. I ask for my refund today!!!
