Sorry mate but any altezza tail light is ugly in my opinion. I'd be going with some nice series 3 tail lights with the indicator being clear but the rest normal red.

Not for me either, but don't listen to us, do what you like.
I just ripped off an entire bodykit from a P250, and I don't give a rats poo hole what anyone thinks. :

If YOU like it, that's all what matters. :sm_headba

I know just about everyone would vote for them

But, would you rather these over S1 tailights?

What he said, LOL

I've only ever thought Alteza's suited Black or White cars.
S2/3 lights look nice and sleek, not so look at me.

But, I regard it as a P-Plate cheapo mod. They all do it.
Mainly VN-VX's really in my observations, Alteza's on steely rims. :rolleyes:

If i were at that age & stage again, id sooner put the $$$ toward to more worthwhile mods like lowing, swaybars, tints, HID's, wheels or a bit of doof doof.

damn us P-Platers have a good rep

Done the lowering (too much in fact, lol), tints, wheels, $3.5k sound system, extractors, exhaust, cam & tune.

Was thinking about HID's, but i think they are even more ricey than altezzas! LoL

Mrs had nfi what to get me for chrissy and i saw these same ones of a silver xr6 around fairfield and thought they looked sleek! Im like 'yeah get me these'

Next chrissy she can bling up my interior with some chrome door handles

The bottom red disk is a reflector... all cars have to have them... your Altezza's have them too...

As for the LEDs... i can up mine to that style too, however i actualy like the 2 red disks look on mine... dont know why though :P

they never look good. they always look like ar$e. just like they do on your car.
its only time before the AU sinks to the level of those e-series mutants
altezza's are the number one cause of this, along with anyone painting their dash
i'll be jumping ship the minute the AU becomes a bogan mobile like the e-series.

Those ones, on you car no, IMO it just looks oh so wrong..

I have seen cars that they do look ok on, like Uncle_Ken's car, perhaps there would be a way to paint / colour code them to look decent, but they are just wrong..

But others will say its stupid to spill 20k to stroke an old AU to drive around at the speed limit, so whatever floats your boat I guess

What were you thinking you decided to put them on your car?
I can just see it now guys. In 100 yrs time there will be all these AU
lying in a shallow grave out in the middle of the dessert.
Will take historians years to realise that it was just the
aufalcon boys trying to hide the evidence of mistaken purchases.

If you like 'em use 'em.

Not my cup of tea but it'd be a boring old world if everybody had exactly the same tail lights ;)

BTW it seems your garage is on fire...
