To be honest I dont know, I took mine to an auto elec. I had to take it back after they only put resisters on the blinkers. You need them on the brake lights to. R&N Auto Elec did mine but they are in katoomba in the blue mts

Well they have a red reflecter at the rear and the blinkers are orange, so they should be. And the reverse lights are reallllly bright.

Rim is a 9.5 and the offset is 48mm. And they look great. The front is 8.5 45mm offset and they carry a set of 265's

Why do people call these Alteza tail lights? They don't look anything like the tail lights of any Alteza I've ever seen, but do look a lot like Mazda 6 lights.

I guess that the Altezza was the first to have aftermarket lights created that were clear like that with the silver surround and coloured circular lense. The Mazda 6 may have been the first to incorporate "Altezza lights" as OEM items, but came out well after the lights had been labelled.

Ah right, I was more looking at the shape plus the clear/silver rather than just the clear/silver look.

I personally don't like the look of the 'Altezza' style lights. Each to their own though.
It's like how some people don't like bodykits, and some do.

I think they work on some cars - cars which I would personally never own like Late model mitsi's and of course, Mazdas and some Hondas (bling bling). For me they don't work at all on the Soarer, its too much of a classic coupe shape with very few straight lines so the harsh look of the chrome lights just doesn't mix.

Got to agree - they look like false breasts on the Mona Lisa.
