Default Tail light question



So I like these lights, but all I can find that are remotley close to them are altezzas .

So, I've noticed alot of hate twords them, but I'm not sure of the reason?

Quality? Or just a lame thing to do?

Thanks for any input

Definitely quality and overall appearance. The are favor'd more by the "ricers" as most of us put it. To each their own though. If you like them, get them. They just hurt the eyes IMO

whatever rows your boat, yea its more of a ricer thing. but you can buy the altezza ligths and spray them red to give them that look.

I am to understand that those are Euro tail lights?

I've seen some very similar replicas - but like I stated before, altezzas.

EJ1 - mentioned quality - but not in detail, I'm going to assume that means alot of people having problems with them?

Dunno 'bout rice a bit cleaner but not rice, still awile down the road before I start doin' cosmetics like this.

Thats a picture off of BenSol's car. And everyone seems to have positive things to say about it, I personally think he pulled them off and looks really clean.

I saw his car and absolutly love it! Except for the light on the rear garnish, and I might get the amber cornors for the front.

Mine is no where as clean as his, though. Need some body / frame work, but the interior is pure sex

But thanks for the input!

I can deal with people thinking its rice, but bad quality is something completley differnt.

I really dislike my stock head light / tail lights, if not these, what are some things you guys like - aside from stock?

if i had that **** on the back of my car i'd take them off and leave the exposed bulbs.

or possibly fashion some tail lights out of wire closehangers and scotch tape.

F-that.

They look bad and cheap. They're just not the quality that OEM lights are. Once you get them, you'll see.

And you could get the same effect by painting normal altezzas lights.

Oh yeah, and altezza = euro taillight. They're the same thing. They're not actually European.
