You put the altezza chassis behind the stock lenses, didn't you? I've been wanting to do that since last year. They look great, I cant' wait to do it.

i saw the idea when someone, i don't remember who it was, held the stock lenses on the altezza chassis, and they look great. I already have a second set of stock tails, I just need to get the altezza's, i just haven't decided if i'm going with the black or chrome ones or the chassis, but i'm leaning towads black. I like that style cause I wanted something different, but I liked the look of the stock tails, and not too fond of the altezza's, I like this combo.

Ooo, that looked pretty good!

Could you please take some pictures of it while engaged in reverse, when blinking to either side, and when the fog light is on?

I want to make some as well, but I need to be sure that it functions great with all the above.

Thanks!

Fog light? What fog light? But my reverse isn't working right now. The sensor is broken. But, Blinker works awesome. And I am sure the reverse would work fine. Might not be the best but reverse sucks with stock lights anyway

Overseas, they have a rear foglight. The 2 outter lights are the brake lights, and the 2 inner are the fog lights. I've been comtemplating implimenthing a rear fog light, if I can keep all 4 as brake lights when not in use.

I noticed a Volvo which what looked like it had a single brake light on, I dont know if something was off, but it donned on me that maybe it's a rear foglight/running light. I know Probe's overseas have a single rear fog light (there's a guy in the car club i'm in who swapped to it), this could be very similar. I noticed it driving back in rain with heavy mist, I could see his "rear fog light" of the Volvo better than the standard tail lights of the car behind it, so I can definitely see it's benifit.

It's a standard here in Europe with only one rear fog light.

bugs, yours look awsome!!!!! MAD PROPS! heres some pics of my version.. i took the lens off and paint the back side of them with a blood red paint.. i did them a while back.. sam baker made a set with the altezzas shortly after i did mine.. i originally got the idea from the FCs with the kouki lights. LOVE EM.

I've been thinking of redoin them cause the clear coat and tint has been peeling. i might just remake em wit the altezzas since i still have my old altezza lights sitting around.
