I agree - I'm just not feelin the Altezzas, whether they're black or chrome housing they just look cheap. I think candying the taillights red is the cleanest taillight mod.

If you had the black housing colormatched to the car it might look okay, but other than that it just looks like all the ones I see on crappy civics around town. If u want to change your taillight have them candied or spend $25 and get the red out kit.

Maybe on a black or dark colored car but they look awful on the TCM.

i have seen the lights on the scionfx xB (pictured) and the black housing can be painted to match the car.

I've got a BSP with the TYC's and the ONLY way I would get the Altezzas is if the TYC's weren't available (or anything else that looked better).

But hey, judging by the reaction from everyone, ... get em! You'll have a more unique ride, especially if you paint the housing to match.

Those have been on scionfx.com for a long time, the big hype for them is that they ARE a paintable housing. Once you get them painted...and by painted I mean properly, not the Pep Boys spray can painting some of you might try...then they will look nice. I wouldn't install those without them being painted, it's like all the trucks you see with the unpainted slotted tail light covers. But that's cool, everyone needs to stick to the TYC lights so their ride will really stand out from the crowd

Better to blend in than that to look like crap and give other scion owners a bad name.

I'll let you chumps wait and see what I have in mind for my tail lights. And no it's not a bolt on replacement. I'm just working on finding a body shop that can do it and do it right. All I was trying to point out was the age old saying "To each their own" which so many people on here preach to others like it's going out of style...but they only seem to preach it when someone has actually done it already.

If someone had posted pics of their car with these tails on it, everyone would have said "I don't really like the tail lights, but hey to each their own," but since it's a pic from an advertisement everyone seems to have grown a pair.
