    1. Remove awful altezza lights
    2. Stomp/Smash/Burn lights and place in bin
    3. Purchase and install calais/berlina tail lights
    4. Admire the your cars newly found awesomeness

    The black ones don't look as good in my opinion. I like the clear ones I have, they are bright, modern and will suit the pearl white the car is gonna be in

    Agree with nathanVS, the clear ones look like horribly faded original lights IMHO. The STD lights look just fine..

    Some tinting goes a long way on the clear lights.

    Hi mate,

    Those are aftermarket lights for show offs, put factory ones on and she'll look neat.
