Im looking at buying some altezza smoked tailights off of ebay. are they alright to buy? will they not get condensatioin in them when it rains?? im looking at ones from option racing. they have a website also optionracing.com. I belive. Please let me know if it is okay to buy from option racing or off ebay for getting aftermarket tailights. I bought some from import shark branded apc and they were ok, but i cracked them and need to replace them. Please let me know if i can get some from ebay or if i have to spend big dollars to get good ones. also give me a site you reccomend to buy them off. thanks

Altezza is a model of car, so the lights for that car will not fit your car, I think it's a Toyota or Lexus.
Aftermarket tail lights, are available everywhere however, and you just have to roll the dice as to whether or not you get a good set that doesn't leak. Your best bet would be doing some searching here about...
euro tails
aftermarket tails
taillights
aftermarket taillights
smoked taillights
tinted taillights
Ect.

matt, i have aftermarket tail lights from ebay. it may possibly have been from option racing. can't quite remember. i have an option racing intake that's fine though. i think my tails were purchased earlier this year or late last year. they don't have any condensation build up.

I have the three-lamp altezzas, they're pretty good, never had any issues (until I put one in the oven at too high of a temperature haha). Like these ones:

^^^ Yeah, I've got that style too. They look damn sweet. I think I've got a photo posted on my garage pic if you wanted to see how they loook on our gen 2's. But imo they look SICK! (in a good way!)

Uhm thanks, but that wiki page really says nothing and backs up what I said.
The Lexus Altezza, IS200.

Kinda like saying you have NOS on your car when you have a NEX kit, NOS is a brand name, you have nitrous.
Anyways, lesson over.
I've had a few different sets of AFTERMARKET TAILLIGHTS from a few different ebay sources, had a litttle problem with one of them getting condensation, the old black chrome ones, but after I tightened the mounting nuts a bit more, it went away. No problems at all with my current flat black ones, after like 4 years.
