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.A type of automotive tail light that usually consists of a clear main lens, and one or more red round lenses. They are named after the Toyota Altezza, which has those lights from the factory. Often used by Import's and Lowriders. They are very played out, and make cars look like crap.

Get the Altezza mug.Goofy, nice, with a great sense of humor. She'll always try and make your day regardless of how she herself is feeling. She's beautiful in the inside as much in the outside. She has a small group of friends, which is kind of ironic because she's pretty outgoing. She'll make fun of herself just to see a smile in your face! She doesn't set her attention to relationships much, so if she picks you, consider yourself lucky! Make sure to take care of her!
Alezza has a big heart

Get the Alezza mug.Allezzandra Is a beautiful name of a girl that has a goal in her mind and she can't take that goal off her mind because she tries to reach that goal and none can stop her from doing what she wants and sometimes she could be doing something bad but not even her bestfriends can stop her from doing what she is doing. Allezzandra always believe in love and she is funny, kind, good style , and a good person to talk about love. She cares so much about her boyfriend that she falls in love with him and she can't let him go that easy she will even risk her life for him.
if you have an Allezzandra you better watch out because she might get in depression easy and do something that none wants to do because of her problems with her family or boyfriend. Better watch out for her and take good care of her because she cries so easy when she is in high depression.
