Anyone got pictures of what altezzas look like on darker coloured EF/EL's?
Am looking at getting a set but want to know if they will suit a darker car (Heritage green) before spending the dough.. Cheers. |

They look good on white/silver ef/el's, although I think you need to add a red reflector to them to make them legal?

IMO They look terrible on any colour. Standard EF taillights look great.

Id say they would look pretty good on the Heritage, Sparkling Burgandy and maybe the Dark Blue too. They look best on Silver cars, not so much anything else though.

Opinions on what looks good & what doesn't is an individual thing. The OP asked for photos not opinions .......Lets keep it at that.

Yeah, thought the consensus would be- you either love em' or hate em'.
Cheers to those who have posted pics. Sorted- they look good on the black EB it pulls it off nicely they also look good on your silver EF but then again they look good on any silver car. Fairmont 599- it would be good to see them on your EF Fairmont and of the other pic (If you can find it) |

I am also under the impression there area few types of Altezzas being sold for EF EL being that there are the ones.
Basically there is a light set and a darker set................ the darker one looks better................

I think there are, theres cheap ebay jobs that are almost white.  And then theres the darker ones.   Havent seen any pics with Heritage Green though. Im still hunting! Personally id go some sort of tint around the edges (mask up the clear indicator bit) and tint the edge around the light, blending into the centre. |

I've decided to give the Altezza's a miss and concentrate on performance instead.
Cheers guys. |

 : They weren't properly fitted in that pic. They were just sitting in there. I didn't fit them after that cause I found out if the reflector isn't red the tail lights are illegal.
