Altezza Tail Light Design Faults

[glimmerman]

Gday guys,

My altezza chrome tail lights for my BA have began to melt, and they have seen less than 3 hours with actual lights on, and that's over a course of several months... So maybe 30 minutes for a couple of days max.

The melt marks have occured where the parkers are.

The issue is F - all clearance between the bulb and the plastic red cover for the parkers... on both sides, same spot.

I was driving behind a GT in my local area also, and his aren't chrome but the same altezza style, melt marks also!

I am wondering whether this will get worse, or if anyone else has them and the burn gets to a stage and stops getting worse?

I'm about to go get some LED tail lights, but just want to know anyone else noticed this issue? SO far, I've seen two cars with these tail lights,and two cars with them melted, both sides.

So do I need to guess and read more into that LOL as to whether it means yes you have had more problems with altezza tail lights also? Or maybe you haven't?

By the way everyone, they are sedan tail lights

haha sorry man, I just find them such a wanky item on all cars, no offence

I cant help it, I'm a ricer...

Nah jokes, I just really like the look of em... Atleast they aren't the frosted ones.

well I had mine in the oven for 5 mins n they didn melt plus a couple of months of use? hahaha but I fukd em with the tint lol

[glimmerman]

lol, I wanted to tint mine also, just affraid to damage them also

[MRDOSE]

haha yeah I broke my standard ones but the altezzas came off piss easy, but the tint for some reason jus didn like the lenses hey.. I think I may have scratched em takin em off so the tint wont stik in spots

I have heard that led tail lights or mabee blinkers have a detremental effect to the cars airbags or somthing like that.

IMO mate they look cheap and from a guess they are made with cheap ass plastic. If you still have the details from the bloke that you bought them from see if you can get them replaced, or even get your money back and as you said put them towards some BF ones? Im sure you wouldnt have any trouble getting a refund, they sold you a defective product.

Good luck with it anyway!
