A car called the Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS300) came out in the US in 2001, and it had a unique tail light: chrome rings with colored lenses and indicators, inside a larger clear plastic lens. This 3-D design was really eye-catching and people were attracted to it.
Toyota did a great job making this light. Other automotive companies copied it, and the popularity of the design grew and grew. The "Fast and Furious" crowd couldn't get enough of the Altezza style tail lights!
Over time, the Altezza design was copied and implemented onto virtually EVERY CAR. You could literally search for the model of your car, and "altezza" and get pages of seedy websites that sell "Altezza" lights for your car.
America got hooked. Many people bought Altezzas thinking it would give their car a "Tight Style" or "Many Many Features", thinking that it would make their car "Unique" and giving their car an "Individuality". Some thought it would give them "Up to 20 horsepower at the wheels!" Have you ever been down in Atlanta or Orlando? Everyone and their Grandma had Altezzas. "there m4d tyte y0!"
It's not because aftermarket Altezzas are impractical, not DOT legal, or have horrible light output, its not because they are cheaply made, or wired improperly, and its not because they fit horribly and attract cops, it's because they are really really UGLY.
STOP BUYING THEM!
Try spending your money on something else, like getting that door, fender or bumper painted to the RIGHT color. Sheesh.

Get the Altezza mug.Aleezay is a modest and amazons person. The beauty is just indescribable that I cant even explain. She secretly likes a guy (starts with letter a) but she still is chill between others. She has so many friends. She is Arab or from another Islamic country. Hair and eyes are both light brown, though her eyes have a small hint of gray.

Get the Aleezay mug.
Aleeza is a girl that everyone not only likes, but if you get to know her, you will fall in love with her. She acts like she’s tough but everyone knows she’s really sensitive on the inside. She cries a lot and overthinks everything. She’s beautiful in a way where it looks like the thought never occurs to her. She’s really nice to everyone she meets, regardless of how they are to her. She’ll defend everyone, even if you don’t think they deserve to be defended. She’s got big dreams. Aleezas are the most loyal people you’ll meet. Aleezas have eyes like stars and there personalities are like fireworks. Her energy is contagious.

Get the Aleeza mug.1) Toyota Altezza. Also known as the Lexus IS Series in America.

It is the stock light of the Toyota Altezza/Lexus IS, and variations of this light are usually put onto even cheaper cars, such as the Civic and Chevy Cavalier, by Ricers.
