Altezza Tail Lights?

[96240SX]

I was wondering if there is such thing as Altezza tail lights for the s14. I dont think I even seen them...ever, I looked in all kinds of ads, and all over the net, but never found them.. maybe there is no altezza tail lights for it...

[anthony240]

aint none fo it, not even fo s13s.

[kitoro]

and a good thing at that... cuz they are sooooooooooo overplayed

[lunatik]

Good point kitoro, i think those altezza are just plain ugly.  The s14 looks grat without them

Thank god they dont make those lights for our cars! <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You can get the RPS13 lights for the s13 for $432 @ <a href="http://nismoparts.safeshopper.com/695/cat695.htm?688" target='_blank'>http://nismoparts.safeshopper.com/695/cat695.htm?688</a>

The only thing those Altezza lights look half-good on are the Altezza\IS300 and even then they're ugly.

Oooooh, I like them 180sx tails though. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

everyone and their brother has altezzas on their cars - anything from stock civics to neons etc....im soo sick of seeing them!

[HondakillaS14]

I'd have to agree, those lights are played big time...this being said after the fact that I recently bought a pair for my girlfriends' 2000 Civic EX....she wanted them so bad...I couldn't help myself....I'd never put those ugly ass things on my car....yuucckkk!!!

[kitoro]

but i'd definitely like to see sumthing different for the rear lights of the S14 tho.. i saw an FC one time w/ modded( i think ) rear lights, the lights themselves were circles... that wuz neat

[anthony240]

I'd like to smoke my rear lights, and make the yellow blinker red. How can I a) smoke my rear lights and b) paint my blinker red?

[West]

Actually, I must admit, some of the newer design's are cooler than stock, and not even ricey looking. I would buy some if I had a car like the Accord or something... but that would never happen. I would rather spend $ for snow tires if I had a Accord <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> lol.

There is a pair I thought were kinda neat that had some &quot;carbon fiber&quot; added to em. Remind me of the Chevy Beretta tails in a way...

[JJ]

These are the ones...

[kitoro]

do they have those for the 240sx?

[lunatik]

Those are definately much &nbsp;better looking than the regular altezza's! &nbsp;I don't think they would look too bad on the S14!

[96240SX]

I feel the same...but I took a look at topautoparts.com, but I couldnt find those lights for the s14..what the #### is up with that. You mustve found them at a secret hidden place that I couldn't find..unless they for another car.

[matic 240sx]

me and a friend are going to tint my tail lights straight black soon... but its going to be a pain in the butt to do it

[kitoro]

i don't think they have lights like those carbon-fibre light thingies for the 240...........

[drifterx]

AHHHH I HATE THEM
dont even flash that pic again
I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM!
everything from chevy pickups to civics have them...
they r ugly and played out!!!!
they r GAY!!!!
i hate them!

[lunatik]

I guess they don't do it for u drifter!

[JJ]

Ah, so much talk about the carbon fiber altezzas! Sorry guys, but the light in the pic is, unfortunately, for a honda civic. I wonder if APC got enough enquireries that they would make em for the s14? www.4apc.net

too bad. I think those are the only altezza's i've seen that I like. I'm keeping my stock tails though, I love the way they fit with the &quot;240sx&quot; panel in the middle <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

anthony240...

just so you're aware, it is not legal to have turn lights any color other than yellow/amber/orange on the rear. &nbsp;red is to be reserved for brake lights only. &nbsp;front can have amber or clear. &nbsp;sides must be amber.

[kitoro]

that's true!

[anthony240]

but what about stock cars like the Eclipse and the Mustang, they got red blinkers in the rear. And the BMW with the white blinker lights? And the Civic coupe? If it's illegal, shouldn't these cars have been recalled? They're DOT approved...

[transient]

That's true... I wonder about that.

These are the two of my favorite (Clear Corners (http://www.clearcorners.com)

Wow I didnt know this topic was so mis-informed. &nbsp;Just to clear things up:

Kitoro&gt; &nbsp;The early model (86-88) FC tail lights were rectangular. &nbsp;The 89-92 tail lights were revised and used 3 circles.

MisterMister&gt; &nbsp;You made a mistake. &nbsp;It is legal to have clear or amber signals in the FRONT of a car. &nbsp;However, the front sidemarkers MUST be amber.

Anthony240&gt; &nbsp;Correct, the law allows you to have all red tail lights, or red brake lights and amber signals. &nbsp;However, you cannot have clear signals without red or amber bulbs. &nbsp;A clear rear signal with a clear bulb is illegal.

S13grl&gt; &nbsp;Thanks for the compliments on the pics! &nbsp;Those are old too.. I cant wait to work on another local car and take new pics of how the tail lights would look. &nbsp;The 1/2 red 1/2 clear tails look really sweet..

Take care guys, lemme know if you have any other questions..
