I wouldn't do it if I were you. RARELY do I see a car with Altezzas that look better than stock..........most of them are

I'm not a fan of the regular altezza's, but the new red coated ones w/ the white strip on the bottom look pretty damn good.

I don't know about the APC's
They look too much like the stock
except the white strip is at the bottom rather
than in the middle
I would rather stay with stock, but, thanks for the input

I just installed the APC NextGen tailights on my silver Pro. IMO, they do look rather stock. However the glow is nice at night because of the different lenses. If you do get these I would recommend painting the top 15% of the light (there's a bend in the trunk that I would follow) to match your car's exterior color. I will get a pic and photoshop it so you see what I mean. Also, I'm not a huge fan of having a yellow bulb in a clear turn signal compartment, and I haven't found a APC Titan (titanium colored bulbs) that fit. So...what I ended up doing was putting another clear bulb in to replace the turn signal bulb, and I wired that to my reverse lights (now I have two reverse bulbs per tailight). Then I wired one of the tail light bulbs (these are the ones that come on when you turn parking/head lights on, and do not get brighter as you press the break) to function as a turn signal. Looks really nice, but there's a slight problem, my blinkers have a hella fast blink rate now, and the front outside turn signals illuminate, but don't flash w/ the turn signals. I'm guessing this is caused by the new turn signal bulb being a different wattage than the stock bulbs....will have to research. But anyway, I do like the NextGens, very clean look. If this hasn't been said elsewhere, put a bead of Silicon Sealant around the entire tail light where the lens meets the housing.

You may have already seen this, but I have the same ones as FL.O.G.

I agree about the yellow bulb, but it doesn't bother me enough to do something about it.

they make amber leds now that will replace that stock yellow thing and they will look white or clear like the other side but are bright yellow amber when on auto zone pep boys advanced auto parts all carry them in the rice section, they look good though and they are legal.
