351mach11647545510 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Both of my tail lights on my avalanche are cracked but so far only one is letting moisture in. I was looking at oem's but then I seen these smoked ones and cant decide if I like them better or not. They can both be had for about the same price from what I've seen so far. What are your opinions the truck looks like this http://www.sullivantrucks.com/autoBuilderData/evox/1910/1910_cc0320_62u.jpg http://a763.g.akamai.net/7/763/1644/2/app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/VPID/4455789/img2/img.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 What color is the truck? If it's a black or even white truck I would go for it.. otherwise I think they can look a little funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ehhh, those never look good. How the hell did your OEM ones crack? My 02 has 117k on the clock now, and hasn't been garaged, with no moisture in either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I say go for it. Im a fan of black housing lights. As long as you stay away from the "carbon fiber" look and chrome housing, it should look nice. Plus, dont some of the newer chevy trucks come with similar style tail lights?

Farley Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 It's 2008 and you're still thinking about buying altezza's? I agree so played out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ehhh, those never look good. How the hell did your OEM ones crack? My 02 has 117k on the clock now, and hasn't been garaged, with no moisture in either. I was wondering the same thing. Aside from damage...maybe he wants to think both taillights are damaged to the point that he needs to get aftermarket lights? Generally, I've been disappointed with aftermarket taillights outside of LED conversions. Especially on the Avalanche, you don't want to take an angular body design and give it tails that look like a bunch of colored bubbles in a black casing. These look better: http://www.sabersport.com/Merchant2/images/taillight/LT-CAVA02LED-BK.jpg http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/33000045/Images/4/03-CAL02TLED-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I wonder if they make non-altezzas for altezzas? This made me curious, so I searched on google, and this is one of the cars I found... http://www.bestjapancar.com/TOYOTAS/Altezza99blue_009.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Actually, after looking at pics of other Toyota Altezzas, the tails on the blue one look to just be stock tails with paint on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 My tails are painted to look less ricey. I'd go with the stockers or LEDs. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/sol740/IMG_0208.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 OEM. I like the look of clean stock red taillights anyway though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351mach11647545510 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 it wasn't the altezza's as it was smoked. those arent the one's I would want thats just what I found as far as smoked ones before I went to work.

My 02 has 117k on the clock now, and hasn't been garaged, with no moisture in either. my one cracked, i'm guessing when I backed into something and I have no idea how the other one did. both cracks are barely noticeable and just discovered the one when I saw the moisture build up in it.

Stimmel1647545512 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I vote for stock as well but its really not up to us its YOUR car, but yea stock since the car is grey smoked might not look that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
