Anyone run with the Altezza black taillights off Ebay?

They will not fit straight out of the box.

You have 2 bulb sockets for the stock tail lights that you need to put into the altezza. Once you take out the original lights, you will notice one of the 2 sockets is noticably bigger then the other one (its longer).

The way they made the socket holes in the altezza, the original bulb sockets will fit without a problem but once you put the tail light back in place the longer of the 2 sockets will hit the body of the car, preventing the altezza to fully go in place.

What you need to do is modify the socket holders in the altezza so that you can put the longer of the 2 sockets in the bottom hole of the tail light instead of the top one, 5 minutes and a simple rotary tool like a dremel will do wonders.

So do you mean two of the three on the bottom,? or do you mean the top one?.
Do you have a pic of the back with the sockets in place. ?

Just asking to see if the wiring is in the right place.

He means the two on the top (the two red ones). That's the same problem you run into with either aftermarket option: full LED or Altezza (both black and chrome). But that's nothing that a piece of 2x4 and a mallot can't fix within a matter of a few minutes with no damage to the paint...

Is it made that much off or is the lights socket in the wrong place?
Check out my Cardomain pg 4.

Dammmmmn. Yeah those are the ones ha ha. I just ordered them last night! Figured they were worth it to see how they look. Thanks for the input folks!

yeah, i have those too. they had some fitting issues on mine. i had to switch the sockets where the bulbs go and cut some plastic away. now it fits tho. but it was a pain doing that... i dono if they are better now.
