Does anyone have these taillights; Altezza Taillight JDM (black)? What do you think, do you like the look? Any problems? Thanks so much for your opinion!

without pictures, it's hard to figure out which lights are you reffering to?

You don't. "Altezza" is one of those words that's pretty much meaningless any more, as far as I can tell. I used to mean "Altezza-style," but I think it's gotten to the point where it's a meaningless interjection. Might as well be "hey tail lights" or "y'know tail lights."

the Altezza means the Altezza styling like you mentioned.
It refers to the clear housing with the red reflectors around the bulbs. Down the years, it has become closely associated with low-quality, cheesy-looking lights that involved the chrome look. Lots of ricer cars have these "altezza" lights. So don't buy them.

or is this the style you are looking for:

Not the conversion. I was looking at swaping out the taillights - like in the below picture that was placed. I want a different look than the typical you see driving around.

Thanks for posting the pic.

GEt the TYC elegante lights. They are "alteeza-ish" with out looking overly cheap.
