All 2002 Ford Lightnings although fast will be distinguished by there Altezza Style taillights. Great. Just what we needed.

This just goes along with Lexus installing Altezzas on some of their vehicles.

Ive seen two new Lightnings so far and they look so nasty with the altezza lights. Why are they doing this to such nice cars?

I mean Lexus in the States. Yes I know of the Altezza in Japan. My whole point was that if Im not mistaken Lexus was the first to join the Altezza craze by installing these lights on their Production vehicles. Thankyou for the info.

lexus like acura are american based companies. over sees our Lexus IS300 is the Toyota Altezza. They started here by putting a segmented light on the sport ute. It had spearate bulb housings trimmed in gold or silver all surrounded in red (instead of chrome) with a clear lense over everthing. Then they brought the Altezza to the states under the IS300 moniker and the fad took off. Now their sport utes use the chromed housing and has fed the scene more than they think.
