Well, the red piece has all the difractive stuff in it but my bulbs help to reflect some red back when a light is shined on them. The taillights shine brightly in all directions when lit up, so no worries there.
Altezza and other companies usually have a small red difractive piece that just barely covers the bulb, but return a bright red reflection when a headlight shines on them.

Well, there'* yer next project. Putting in a little piece of the reflector....

No F'in thanks, this one was bad enough. My next project is getting Trunk to cough up a motor. Which I guess means I'll have to shove one down his throat first!

Altezza is not a company, it'* the Toyota Altezza. Its a Lexus IS that'* about 20k in japan.

The Altezza style lamp has been around a lot longer than the Lexus IS.

Sir, Yes Sir!! Nit officially picked SIR!!

What do I know?? I can only go by what I've seen 'em called. And since I personally don't care for them, that'* as far as my research went...

i love the look of the clear tails... now if only i could find some decently priced ssei tails..... :(

That'* because the toyota altezza has been around a lot longer then the IS. They just realised their sport coupe could compete with the 3 series, told their Lexus division to dress it up and made em Sweet cars, they could sell so many Altezza'* here in the US if they brought it....

That would explain it. I did some checking, and couldn't find an "Altezza" brand light. Just others that used the term.
