Altezza Tails....w/halo ring
Just got my new 2K3 EX cooop...I'm on my 7th honda....well, 2 acuras, but still Honda...Anyways, I like the CLEAN look of the factory red tails, but also like the RED CIRCLES.....I don't like traditional CLEAR Altezzas
...These seem like a perfect alternative...My question is, the LED ring, which circle has the LED ring? The parking, or the brake, etc??? When does it light up? And...Anyone have any pictures of these at night, or installed on a car???
Thx...
Joe

i emailed X3 racing awhile back when they were on ebay(they still might be) and the crystal red ones were made by APC so that made me turn away from getting those. but a guy in my motorsports club has the angel eyes also. They dont look all that great IMO, at night they look like the TYCs to me, and they angel eye is kind of a dark amber color

these tails are not cheap and are not made by apc. i have had them for two months now,and they are great. they fit real well too, better than my old tyc's. they also don't leak. as for the halo ring, it works as your your rear tail light, the one that is on when you turn your lights on. the large circle is the break light and only turns on when you hit the breaks. these, imo, are the best aftermarket tails made for the coupe.

I have a set of the red ones too, and boy do I love em. They fit great, haven't fogged yet, and they look like factory tails until you look at them closely or see them at night. Almost every 2k1 around town has stopped me and asked me about them. You can hook up the halo however you want. I have mine wired to where it comes on with the parking lights, and then when you put the blinker on, the center of the halo (the light in the middle) blinks. I can try to post some pics when I get home tonight.

I think that the light fills the halo a bit more than the Angel Eye Projectors. I was wondering the same thing before I ordered them, but I thought......if the halo looks shiity, I'll just leave it disconnected and it'll still look better than the stock tails.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that they don't make these in carbon fiber. Right now, all they have are the red, and the clear. Like someone else said, X3racing has em if you're interested.

Here's a few pictures. They're kinda blurry, but I think you get the picture. 






In the last two I have the left blinker on. In the 2nd to last one, you can see how well the halo lights up at night if you look at the right light.

Thanks for posting the pictures...So, the halo is actually around the turnsignal (the small circle)? Also, what about the small light on the side of our stock lenses......do these aftermarkets still have it? I don't see any light on the side?? Thanks....

Oh yeah, they still have the spot for the light in the triangular section on the side. I just never put that light in because I like the way it looks without it. All the holes are exactly the same as the factory lights. The only difference is that the factories have horse shoes and these have circles.......and the halo.
