how 'bout you burn them before you ruin your car.

I put these on an Accord. Not hard at all. The only hard part was figuring out how to get the bulbs loose and you just twist them, damn hard i might add. What color is your car? I dont see why everyone is anti-Altezza. I agree on alot of cars they are played out, but i think they look good so thats all that matters right? Well, have fun and good luck.

Well...I don't have the car in front of me..but it's relatively easy....you will need an 8mm socket wrench

Open the trunk lid and open the tail light access panel on the inside.

Pull back the trunk interior lining to get better access to the tail light.

Remove the four 8mm nuts holding the light in place using your socket wrench.

Then pull the tail light out from the body. Unscrew the light bulb holder from the tail light.

Find the light wire harness and unplug

C'mon now.

Carbon fiber-style is yummy.

They still look they were made in a basement. They just look plain old cheap especially when they are illuminated. But i'll give it to you, the carbon fiber is much better than the regular. If you burn them though, you can carbonize them a little more if you'd like

That's why I smoked them. Well, they looked better on my car. I just hated seeing everyone with them. Kick myself just for paying 200 for them - they were the first made for Preludes a year ago.
