my advice to you...........If you have a black car, get black G3 altezzas, If white or silver, get clear or smoked, if not just paint your center and leave it, crome dose not look cool so do NOT just get plain altezzas, you will take them off in a few months like the rest of us.

yeah they will get water inside and stuff. Some find that puting sillycone around the seams will stop that

How do you open up the altezzas without cracking the plastic? The lenses seem like they are glued in there prtty good. I've been wanting to do this, but didnt think it was possible. PLEASE HELP!!

I was the first on the board to do this 2.5 years ago..... Just use a hairddryer and carefully pry it apart. Or the oven will work too!

Well, I put mine in the over at 250 for about 10 minutes and the plastic lenses came right off. To seal them back up I put them back in the oven, just reusing the glue that was already on the lights. My lights don't let any condensation in at all, but I know most people use clear silicon to seal up the lights better.

sounds like the same process as takin apart the headlights. Has any one tried to pry the red plastic off the stock taillights from the inside to make clear ones? it works for the 300z

THANKS A LOT!!!! I put the tail lighs in the ove, just like you said...250 for 10 minutes, and it worked great! The lens came right out. Thank you so much man. I have been trying to do this for so long, and now i finally can. Now all I have to do is wait until it warms up, so i can paint them. Thanks one more time!
