    Altezza Lights

    Ok I just bought me a pair of JDM Altezza style lights for my galant, I was pretty happy it looks friggin awesome .. and then I tested out the lights, the bulbs are all in working order its just that the left tail lights, the wiring is wrong when I use the break light the indicator lights up and vice versa, The guy that I brought it off said it was pretty easy just swap the wires.. and I;m thinking is this something I should be doing, or should I leave it to the auto electrical ppl... help!...thanks in advance

    just had a good chuckle to myself...
    Altezza style lights are not a performance modification lol, how much hp have gained from installing them?? Maybe this should be put in the Customising your VR4 thread.

    What happens when you indicate then? does brake light come on?

    Does the brake flash when u indicate? And is indicator solid when you press the brake.

    My advice on this matter would have been to put the original tails on... but thats not going to help solve your problem

    Also.....is it possible to put the wrong bulbs in the wrong holes? I did this on an old ford once...the wires all seemed to reach to natural places, but as it turned out, I just unscrewed two and popped them in the correct holes...problem solved!

    Are you sure that you have the bulb plugs the correct way around? I know with a lot of the "Altezza" lights its possible to do this.

    Are they like these ones?



    Also a lot of them have red indicators as they are from the states...

    Just a thought.
