First off, those are Anzos, not "altezzas." They're all made by the same distributer, so it doesn't matter who you buy them from. I got my old set for $145 shipped on eBay.

 

Altezza is the warehouse, Anzo is the brand.

See http://www.altezzawarehouse.com/

 

Are these plug and play for an 09 tc?

 

no you need a o7 harness and dont you rock the rs3 tails? It would be a downgrade to drop to Anzos.

 

Rs3 > anzo > 05 - 07 > tyc > 08+

 

fun fact: Altezza is the japanese market version of the Lexus IS300/(200) we had in the US, not a brand of lights like everyone seems to think.

 

Actually, Toyota ceased using Altezza as a nameplate in 2006 and it "is" possible for companies to share names however in the sense that it was used they were never sharing names. Altezza is a company when referring to lights, when Toyota used it they were referring to a brand, totally different use of the word.

 

I was talking about how the word "altezza" seem to have been bastardized and is thrown around in ebay's titles like "jdm" and doesn't really mean much anymore. People tend to use the word to describe the tail light look (usually chrome outer, red rings inner) that started on the lexus years ago, and has been copied onto pretty much every car ever since

 

Agreed
