    Posted: August/17/06 at 2:31pm

Here is my new tail lights that I just got. I looked for quite sometime until I found some I liked. Thanks to Mike for steering me away from the Altezza lights, the more I read about them the more I didn't want them. I found these from the UK and they are made by ULTRA, the same company that makes the shark gill side markers that I have too.

I'll try and get some day pics for you all to see. Let me knwo what you think.

Oh, and Dave or Mike what do I need to do so I can get my top rear fogs to turn on with my brake lights? I think I remember you guys doing that to yours.

Those are very good looking tail lights!

Nice mod SharkReef!

Would you guys mind taking a sec to explain why you would not recommend the Altzzooss (whatever the name is) tail lights.....

Thanks,
YakiMini

Mike,

I'll take it. Just let me know how much it is and I will pic it up from you sometime.

 

YakiMini,

From all that I have found off of NAM and MINI2 mos tthe people that I read about getting the Altezza lights were very upset witht he quality, they cracked within weeks of getting them, or fogged up almost immediately with condensation. It was enough to scare me off, so I just took sometime and found a better product. I really like how they came out.
