depends on what you get mine weren't Ebay crap they came from a reputable trade supplier and IMO they suit my car ( black lights on a dark car) there are some real shockers and I know someone who bought the Ebay nasties and had dramas with leaking . mine have been in for 2 years now and still no trouble .

If you don't like them don't fit them but some of us like to be a bit different

Firstly I was silly enough once to actually try one on my car, i had three different lights on it and none of them worked, the standard lights worked perfectly. They are always shonky ebay operators who sell them..

Also I try and look at them from another angle to try and like them but they are but they are just aweful. Its like the song "i didnt like you even when i tried to".

Lets mark this day as declaration of war on altezza lights

[Fev]

mine are ebay shockers but i didnt buy them, my dad did(black/chrome for a stock acid rush? yuck) so he gave them to me

[Fev]

hey look some new altezzas out


these look alot more stock but LED styled.. all they need is the chrome strip along the bottom and they would be mad! much less ricer

[Sorted]

Wish I had a BA : :(

[Fev]

nyah-nyah Nyiyy nyaah-nyaaah :P

[PoMmYwOG]

i want to get the black ones for my red XR6...saw one the other day with them on...looked really good i reckon esp with the dark tint...just need to get rid of my std 17's for some gtp 19's and it will look even better.

BTW they are called altezza's because the car that started this craze was the Altezza RS200/300 (known as the IS200/300 in Aus)...thats what a jap crap parts supplier told me and makes sence...

[Fev]

yeah it is cuz they came standard with these style tail lights... guess what the japs did. made standard normal car looking lights to replace them aftermarket lol

[eXi7w0unD]

just paint ur altezzas.... like i did

[Benzito]

Sinclair Ford(who suck IME) in Penrith had a Force8 on their showroom floor about 2 months ago. It was black, with black altezza style taillights.
I could not believe that they would cheapen their 'executive' car like that! It looked alright, but the car is worth a few hundred dollars less, without genuine Ford tail-lights. That just offends me for some reason. :

Under-your-skin, that is *exactly* why a yong lady P plater put them on her Laser.

[paul_r_d]

Personally I would never get them. The certain ones for older cars look like washed out water leakage lights- like what happens to the VN commo.

My mate has them on his VT commodore- they look shithouse becuase they dont match up to the continious reverse lights on the boot lid.
No thanks- no ebay plastics for me.

[Fev]

my mate wants them for his VT commo but he is going to replace the boot for a VX monaro style boot... if he can find it

I saw it outside Bosche in Clayton (SE). Could possibly be the same car. I couldn't believe my eyes!

[paul_r_d]

I must admit though the ones that come stock on cars like Mazda 6 look hot as!

[XR6 Hulk]

Altezza's, shocking looking lights. Declare war on altezza's

I literally want to get out of my car with a baseball bat and smack cars that have them. :

[xquizd]

I wouldnt be doin that coz someone might just get out of the car a smack you one.
LOL :

[XR6 Hulk]

Tell me you dont cringe, tell me it dont make your blood boil.

[xquizd]

On fords & holdens yes I cringe :
On a nice jap car (Honda) they look good, As long as it's not the only mod.
It's got to suit the rest of the car.

[XR6 Hulk]

Please if you agree with the war on altezzas vote in the poll about the worst mods. Someones gotta straighten the teeth on people who buy altezzas

[uranium_death]

Lukey's car looks bloody nice with the Altezzas.

It depends on the car, the colour and other mods.

With the rims and the gunmetal grey, the Altezzas look really good. On another colour scheme, they'd look terrible.

[Fev]

ya smack my car with a bat ill smack ya head in across the gutter! :P

[XR6 Hulk]

I was at the gym yesterday and i looked around at the carpark and there were altezzas everywhere. VT-VX Commodores, AU Falcons, BA falcons.

I walked in and cleaned house in the gym, I had to beat up about 15 people in there. They all promised they would remove their altezzas and return to standard lights.
