Altezza Tail-lights Where can you buy a good pair?

I have purchased two pairs off E-bay and both have leaked water. TI is really frustrating. Are they sellign the real Altezza stuff or some fake crap?


Where can you get the good stuff from?

vivid racing carries them.

IMHO there are more unique taillights than going altezza if you want a different look, like smoking (spray on a layer of black paint) or eyelids

"Good" Altezza taillights is an oxymoron.

Altezza hating aside, what bone says is right. You probably won't be able to find high quality altezza taillights because APC mostly makes them, and their stuff is pretty cheaply made. The "other guys" are no better off because they basically copy apc's designs, and go at it with even cheaper production investment.

Your best bet with water is to actually see if you can take apart your existing lights, and then resealing them with some good silicone sealant.

The only good altezzas are the ones on the IS, because of the obvious oem connection

Precisely!! There really are no high-quality aftermarket Altezza-style lights.
