euro lights for a second gen?

I was lookin through a magizine and saw a second gen rx with euro tail lights now i've looked everywhere and cant find them. the best was they looked like they were for the car not just some other lights that were put there and then molded to fit

How come everything on ebay that car places are trying to sell are labled "Euro"? Like they have this huge ******* mysterious way of making things that make something better? Euro steering wheel, euro fog lights, euro tail lights, euro floormats, jesus, half the stuff is like made in japan anyways.

i dont like calling them altezzas. ****, the rx330 (i think) Lexus SUV has similar lights on some year models. guess thats not as cool as "Altezza." most all look cheaply made in my opinion, and most likely are. they look good on IS300s because they're well made and fit the car.

I don't know, guys- the "euro" version tails look exactly the same as the american version- it's the center section (the part that holds the plate) that looks different, not the tails themselves.

Here are some modded s5 tail lights.

I don't think they look good, but they say jdm so they must be even better than euro!

That Euro S4 tail light looks very cool, with half the reverse light actually a red rear fog.



Hey Higgi, how do the rear fogs turn on??? where is the switch located???

They don't make "Euro" / "Altezza" tail lamps for the FC. Nicest looking lamps are S5 (89-91) anyway. You can get a set on ebay for around 100 bucks.

These are S5 tail lamps, much nicer than S4's (86-88)

What no-brain came up with that idea? In case you missed it, the Altezza is a Japanese car. Ever seen a European car with taillights similar to the Altezza's? Nope...

I never heard of a Japanese car called an Altezza here in the US. Usually if someone refers to altezza taillights they're talking about those ugly aftermarket lights. (do a search on the web and you'll see what I mean)
