Euro tail lights

Fellow G-drivers,
I have been doing some good searches on the internet and on here as well to see if anyone has ever tried to do a euro style tail light for our vehicle. So far I have come empty handed. So i decided to post the question here since some of you are more connected than others. I would appreciate any leads.

Theres no Altezza style tail lights for the G35 for a reason... imo Riced out little imports are excusable... but lets not tarnish the prestigous name of the G35s

So let me get this straight.. you want to go from LED lights (which like 6 or 7 models of cars outside of Benz/BMW/etc) use to go to Altezza tails which use Halogen bulbs? If you wanted Euro Tails, you should of gotten a civic or an Is300. Even the "new" Altezza aka IS250/350 isn't using that design anymore.

The new Altezzas are AWSOME looking too! And coincidentally... again... they have a similar body style to to the 2006 civic SI coupe. Just like the old altezza kind of looked similar to the 6th gen ek civics.

But to answer the question... I havent seen any, nor have I heard of any that will be coming. They'll only make something like that if there is a high demand/market. As far as I know, there really isnt much of a demand for such a product. Good luck though

Gents all I was looking for was an answer and not banter. I appreciate the answer finally on the subject. I will not tell you how to spend your $$$. Thanks for the reply and as far as the demand, I guess you're right, not enough demand for the item. Oh well, 2005 tail lights it is then.

If you could remove the red plastic on our lights they are silver/clear. Make a clear lense and put some red reflectors on our bumper and your good to go!

I used to have an IS...it's the greatest car...Now I have a G, and THAT is the greatest car...Just thought you'd like to know...BTW, the Euro lights are played out and the LEDs are freakin' dope and it distinguishes the G from any other car on the road...But it was a good thought...

HomieG35, you hit the nail on the head! That's exactly what I was referring to, I never wanted to replace my LEDs with halogen, most people here had a heart attack. I guess I should have been more specific. Thanks for the pictures but I guess there isn't enough demand to make something like that yet.

S-tuned, yeah i noticed, the mere mention of the subject had some people on here flabergasted. They have the option of not putting something like that on their vehicle. Oh well, next time i'll make sure to phrase correctly so as not to hurt someone's feelings. Thanks!
