Default Altezza taillights
Just got these off Ebay



I have ordered 1156 LED Amber and Red bulbs to put into the top half of the taillight cluster.

Will post pics of them on the truck once I get my bulbs!

Yup, tested fitted both and they fit fine, here are some pics of my test fit and comparing with the stock lens. I had regular bulbs put in for testing, the LEDs are coming soon!

At first when i first saw the tail lights, they were ugly. After seeing them on the gx itself, it doesn't look bad. Its something different for the gx i suppose. Where did you find the diagram for the disassemble for the lights?

Removing the taillights is easy, just remove 2 bolts inside the body and pull the taillight off 2 clips.

I think they look nice on the balck GX, but I also feel that something is lacking, such as contrast/color. Maybe a thin chrome border around the outer perimeter of each light would accentuate it more.
