New style TYC Alteeza pics

My new Altezza's were delivered today. Unfortunately, it's been raining and dreary with the threat of T-storms all day so I have not had a chance to install them. But here are a few pics from different angles to show some more of the light's details.

Notice red 'tab' above the side reflector. It is actually a little window where the light from the upper bulb shines through.



Red reflectors should solve the 'legality' issues

Another reflector on the side.

Same side, different angle. Notice the 'bubble' in the lens.

View from the top...showing the bubble in the lens.

View from the inside. Brake light on top, reverse in the middle and turn signals on the bottom.

Looks good. How are they in the rain? Do they fog up like the Altezzas?

So far so good...I took them through the car wash already. No leaks and no fog.

i'm liking these lights more and more.

wish someone knew for sure what the gunmetal ones look like. if they're not greenish, they'd be a better match for my EX than the chrome. carbon fiber would be the isht, though.

but, i'm going to have to wait awhile. i want to get an air dam first. i was going to order one this week(cash in hand).......but my girlfriend and i just broke up and i'm moving out of our apt. money's going to be tight for a minute.

Kodeblu-

Any reason you chose the chrome over the gunmetal ones? Would gunmetal look better with a black truck?

Sideswipe...those posted pictures of the gunmetal lights looked kinda funny. I could not tell exactly what color they were. I agree with you, they might look good on a black X, but because my X is blue, I was not going to take a chance with the colors clashing.

Oh OK, youre X is blue, I understand. BTW, I love your X, I've always favored the Limited models, and especially a dark dark blue like that. Looks great!
