Yeah most of the LED bulbs you see that PNP do not have enough LED light to be any safer. Instead of your entire lamp lighting up as it should, only the bulb area lights up and it doesnt correspond with lights that have reflectors in them very well.LED is point light, so you need a custom setup to make it work. The only ones that have made any progress would be the Spider lites IMO. The go in, open up and allow more LEDs in the lamp but still I think they can do better. If you want LEDs, go to a truck store, buy those round ones they put on buses and dump trucks and wire them in.

I like these,I'd sport them on the Vibe.Just have to figure out how to put them in.

I'd still kill for a pair of LED tails for the Vibe. I'd make custom ones like I did with my GA, but no way to clear the lenses. I agree with the 09's tails. Thats one thing I do like about them.

If you want Altezzas, either buy a 05-08 Matrix or a 09+ Vibe.

Altezza's are old world anyways. The new item is LED taillamps.

So no one makes good LED bulbs for our tail lights? I've gone to a couple of sites that seem to put together a fairly good array of LEDs. Anyone tried them? Pictures? Don't really need clear tail lenses for these, do we?I would like to try them.

Make a new topic if you make your own "altezzas" or in the unlikely event, find a company that makes them for the 2003-2008 Vibe.Let's hope that doesn't happen...lol.. Altezzas were meant for ONE car, the Altezza or IS300 here.. I guess that doesn't stop the people that put Buick fender vents on Jeeps though, does it... lol..

I agree. Same as body kits for the Vibe. We've waited SOOOOOO long for something, I just lost interest altogether and I'm glad nothing ever came out. I don't like chrome too much so those altezza taillights are annoying to me. I wanted a set of black taillights. Now I have mine tinted and painted the triangle strips in the lens metallic black and I think it looks better than anything after market

I think the Vibe has decent looking tail lenses. I Cant see altezzas looking good on the Vibe. I DO like the look of tinted tails on the Vibe....lightly though!I always thought the 02-04 Altima tails looked great, as well as the IS300s.

Holy long lasting forever thread Whelan! How did this end up at the top of the pile again. Did you do this? Huh. Fess up. Come on, now. Did you?

Actually the thread has been dead for almost 4 months, you apparently can't just let it go. LOL!I motion to close it for good!

I found it back on top of the list of threads again... thought maybe you were messin' with it again! I second the motion, Whelan. This thing should be buried and forgotten!!!

wait. so they make them?

tezzas are crazy ultra super hero gay..

OOOKAY, this thread is officially scary. It climbs to the top of the list, even if the last post was over a month ago...So it must be Possessed. (cue the Psycho movie music)

(cue the Psycho movie music) Every time a vote is placed, to the top it goes. A new poll regarding which taillights is more appealing, 03-08 or 09+ would be interesting.

why wont it die already!!! arrrrrgggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread will NEVER die!!!!! Mwuaahahahahaaaaa!

stupid altezza tail light thread...just for you Keith

Quote, originally posted by Whelan »oh so Blue gets the credit for the LED 3rd brake, LOL! Not anymore !!! It only took a bit over two years AND on the newer model

This thread is still here.The solution.....

Everytime this thread pops up I think someone found altezzas......dang !!!

Can we ask any other company to make better tailights for the vibe & do a group purchase?A friend of mine has a g6 & wanted projectors & someone ask a company to see if they make projectors for the g6 & they did a group purchase from g6 fourm

i'm in!

ive actually asked a few companies and havent gotten a single reply lol. but i guess if we keepy trying it wont hurt lol

How many would actually order a set? Would they be just what everyone wanted to make them appealing?Projectors can be had as a universal add-on item. Just look @ keithvibe's business, so it would be relatively easy to "convert" a set of headlights already in production.For tails, they would practically have to start from ground zero, then hope every one liked their design well enough to purchase them. And face it, most Vibe owners couldn't care less. That's what seperates us from them... and my wife is one of THEM!!! Quote, originally posted by morbay »I was just curious who dug this one up again. I don't know (Ls1jorge), but I wish it would just die.I would like some tails w/black background/insides (no chrome,) clear lenses and functional LEDs. I don't think you could call them Altezzas though.

We just need to gather up information on how many people want different tailights & the type of look & design they want black, chrome...etc. my friend said the company who made the projector headlights for g6 wanted 250+ customers to buy all @ once, & they made a great success on the sale. We need to make a thread of who wants tailights & the type of look everyone has to agree to, yea prolly be pricey & IMO well worth it!

Sorry to dig this up again but im definitely in for a group buy on just about any kind of aftermarket tail lights. ANYTHING to change the look of these stock ones.

I knew it!! I just knew it... and I was just thinking yesterday that it was time for somebody to bring up this thread again.

We need to talk to companys on how much of us want them & type of look & design, see if they could pull something with our housing tailights, if anybody has extra laying around example for them to work on

A dead car from a defunct brand. I'm sure whoever makes these lights is really interested in making them now considering how interested they were when the car was actually in production.

This is so sad. I was searching for tails today...does ANYONE make any?

B, you and I should make a joint venture and get some made.

Quote, originally posted by keithvibe »B, you and I should make a joint venture and get some made. You're right, Keith. We could be thousandaires.

This thread should've been locked years ago! Moderators? Bueller? Anybody?For those still looking for SOMETHING, there ARE 'redouts' and 'blackouts' - colored overlays to change the appearance of the stock lights that do not require removal.RANT ONAs has been the case with some other small market custom-mod projects among Vibe and Matrix owners, the cost to make the FIRST set would be outrageous. The SECOND set, just 1/2-outrageous, the THIRD set 1/3 outrageous, and so on, so that, in CONCEPT, it would be a high, but reasonable cost for the 100 or so Vibe owners who really WANT to buy them. Until they see the cost per unit, and then probably only 5 people would actually have the money in hand (at the 100-unit cost), and could split the cost of the project, which would now be 20 times the 100-unit cost, or 1/5 of the original outrageous number. Which goes a long way toward explaining why there have never been (and are not likely to ever be) Altezzas for the Vibe.RANT OFF

Quote, originally posted by kostby »RANT ONRANT OFFTHE RANTER I'd rather see this one forever than see a new thread for Altezza's every month. Maybe they can just close the poll and not lock the entire thread. That is why it keeps getting bumped to the top of the active topics page.

For that matter, it'd be smart to just auto-kill a poll after X months

Just rig up some 09-10 tail lamps! Problem solved!

The 09-10 are a lot better than the old style. I wish you could rig the newer ones into an old model.

I agree... but PLEASE let this thread just die... PLEASE??

What in the world are 'altezzas'? Oh wait, crap. Run away!

You'd better run away, Pal!!Look, I would like some better looking tails for our '06 too, but unless someone here is going to create them and make them available at a reasonable cost, it ain't gonna happen!!Let this Zombie thread DIE!!! Or make it happen.
