Please help* Installing New Altezza lights
 
Hi!
I am wondering if anyone has installed Altezza lights on their WRX 02 and if they can provide me with some information on how to do so.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks!!!

There is a very big chance that 99.99% of the WRX owners on this board have not purchased the Altezza lights for their cars because most people here are totally against putting them on a Subaru.

They shouldn't be too hard though...just take the bolts out from inside the trunk, unplug the harnesses, attach harnesses to Altezzas, and put everything back together again. Simple!

I know I am gonna get a verbal beat-down for even posting in this thread.

P.S. I don't like Altezzas!

eBay has a couple sets floating around. I think they are going for about $200-$240, somewhere in that range. Hope this helps.

yeah...let's see the pics when they are installed. Maybe they won't look as bad as the APC car.

[i]i am gonna refrain from my opinions because this is someone in need of some help, and not flaming, it is his car afterall[/i]

that being said, if it anything like the RS....ppull back the lining of the trunk, use the quick connect to remove the light harness.....remove the screws....MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL OF THEM.....the RS had one on the far side of the light and i almost tore out my rear fender....the rs had 5 i dont know about the rex, but make sure you check for all of them.....you might also need some silicone sealant after the process to avoid flooding your trunk......just seal around the edges of the lights and set them in place...

:devil: hope that helps, and definately post some pics:devil:

I'm just curious as to their quality... Do they fit well? Do they seem that they'll hold up?
C-EZ 04-24-2002 06:51 PM

Altezza Lights installed
 
Installation was extremely simple.
They fit well and look pretty sharp.
As far as how they hold up, I will let you know if I run across any issues.

I got mine off of Ebay from TokyoHighway.com or something.
Here's a link to his currect auction.

His shipment was extremly fast!!!!

Take care,

OK dude, now lets see some pix of them installed on your car.

Post some pics of different angles, just curouis. I think that these would look pretty sharp on a black impreza.
Jejunum 04-24-2002 10:46 PM

yah pics! jejunum may be the .01 % of subaru owners that likes altezzas :)
scaryfastskier 04-24-2002 11:03 PM

I commend those of you who have posted for keeping this helpfull and on-topic. It is really nice to see help given for even a "hated" topic.

PS Lets see those pics!
Shaggee 04-24-2002 11:16 PM

I only think these lights would loook ok if they didnt have that chrome(shiny background). Rather maybe a black backing.
scaryfastskier 04-24-2002 11:27 PM

I agree. I'd love to see these in black.
DannyGT 04-25-2002 12:14 AM

ONLY WAY altezza style light would look good on our car, is if all that fake ass shiny chrome part would be replaced with matching body color...that would look better...
Stripe 04-25-2002 01:15 AM

They should install the same as regular tail lights. Remove the trim piece on the inside of the trunk to expose the back of the tail light. You should be able to see all of the bolts you have to take out.

Hate to do this..
 
[i]To answer your question, many people did say it... I deleted them all. If it is not related to the installation of Altezza lights or the reply revolves around "they are rice" or "I'll smash them with a bat, don't do it" or anything of the sort the reply will be edited/deleted, period. C-EZ asked for help, not a cacaphony of opinions. If you feel like bashing Altezzas, feel free to use Imprezer's thread designed specifically for that purpose presently stickied at the top of this forum please. Thank you ;).

Sorry guys for the delay in pics. On top of the weather sucking here I have been resting with a back injury.

I will have some soon.


Peace!

That is really, really funny- I was reading this whole post, getting more and more amazed that this poor guy wasn't getting trashed, thinking to myself "wow, these guys are showing remarkable maturity and restraint" and generally being all proud of you all, and then read at the bottom that indeed, you had been trashing the guy. :lol: Bastards, bursting my bubble like that. :p

correct, sir
luxcar101 04-30-2002 07:37 PM

in an attempt to make peace with the devil incarnate itself, Altezza's:
 
I haven't seen a Morrette tail light or the Skyline GTR style lights of the simple two slantedly adjacent (I hope some of that made sense) bulbs and the surrounding, what should be plastic, is seemingly bodypaneling or just ABS painted to match and smoothed out to match the body.

Make any sense? If not I'll try it again...
jlee27 04-30-2002 07:53 PM

I'd pick these up, if i wanted lights...
 
These are kinda like inhancements to the stock lights, I'd pick them up if I wanted new tail lights. Ebay has a bunch of these for aution, anyone who wants them should check it out....

Hazdaz 04-30-2002 08:11 PM

The lights from JLEE27's post I like. Those are teh ones that I saw on some UK forum a while back and I likes them cuz they look just like the stock WRX lights, but are jewelled. Not too facy, but not too boring.
DannyGT 04-30-2002 09:33 PM

I dont like euro tails, but if i had to choose ,definitly those above....
Hazdaz 04-30-2002 10:00 PM

OK, stooopid question, but, what would make these lights "Euro"? I mean after all, MOST new cars have those type `o lights (the jewell-type), and this is really the first time i've heard them called "euro".

Pics of Black Chromes?
 
No offense to those who have the regular Altezzas or like 'em, but IMHO, they seem kind of out of place on the WRX--especially in the pics of the WRB car.

On the other hand, the "black chrome" versions look nice. [COLOR=red]Does anyone have pics of the black chrome Altezzas installed on a WRX?--preferably WRB color[/COLOR]

Thanks in advance,

CL
DubbleURX 05-01-2002 03:38 AM

PLEASEsomeone do aquik photoshop of those 2pics to like ablack or or maybe just try all the stock colors as some of ya it would take a few minutes..

So all colors if possible?

Also could ya body color or blacken the inside of them also.. I think with that alot of the "ALTEZZA HATERS ASSOC." may be on the edge right now cuz they arnt THAT BAD like most. But a few other options might not be to bad.:confused:
