Need opinions on some Altezza tail lights...

I've never really searched for any, but I kind of like the way they look. Found these on eBay, but, because of my lack of experience with these things, I want to see what anyone here might think of them. If you know of another place, too, or a better deal, then fire away. Thanks...

i believe their is a DIY on that somewhere on these forums.

For a while I liked aftermarket tail lights then I relized it was just cause I wanted my car to look custom (not saying that yours isnt). But I think the stock tail lights look the best. But those are nicer then most aftermarket ive seen.

Hmmm. Okay, maybe it's a matter of not knowing what you have, then. I think I'll take my 04 stock tail lights and check out that DIY. Any links? You're gonna make me search for it, aren't you? LOL!

So far, I found this. Do they really get sprayed?

Why not? Have you had problems with it?

Shouldn't an 01 coupe switch out with an 04 and a 01 sedan switch with an 04? Would the various models make a difference?

isn't rennen still selling JDM sedan tails?? those look good. or, stick with the stock 04-05. i'm afraid to smoke my tails 'cause i don't feel like getting rear ended. it seems like they wouldn't be as bright.

I've decided to not go with smoked lights. Instead, I think I'll just go with painting the insides of the tail lights.

Not to sound rice, but my car is charcoal grey. Has anyone ever seen someone paint the insides of their tails a different color, other than black or grey? Would it/did it look stupid? For instance, if I went with a dark gold or something like that, would it be too much?
