1. welcome to clublexus.
2. never have seen Altezzas for the 1GS and I hope never
3. I find the 1GS tails to be some of the sportiest Lexus has ever made stock.

But only ricers want altezza lights. I thought that was common knowledge.

not really if ur good at it you can pull off the altezza look, look at the jap drifters and alot of the newer cars come with the same style led tail lights that i showed of the 2nd gen altezza. It gives the car a modern look, but I would like to see how they would look.

Welcome, and no they haven't made altezza tailights for the 1GS. The altezza is the ONLY car which should have ALTEZZA tailights is the ALTEZZA. I don't know if they have LEDs for the 1GS but that is better. If they don't, maybe you should leave the stock ones alone, since they look good already, and buy some HIDs instead if you want a lighting mod. Good luck

yeah i plan on keeping the stock ones if they dont have any, and if they have a LED kit maybe but most likely not. I love VIP cars and gangster off set cars, Im not ghetto and its more of a preference on what is rice I think altezza lights that are half red and silver are sexy but what ever flame on but I love stock as well. I have a 240sx and its my drift car and I have the kouki tails which i love but then there are the altezza or euro style ones and people have actually painted them all clear red and they look really good and on corolla's that is if you do it right.

these are my friends cars that did it they look pretty good and they did it themselves.
my car is on the right and my friends on the left yes his center piece is gay but it can be replaced with the oem one like mine.

my friend did that himself just painted the clear part red to match it.

To the OP, the 2GS has been around almost 10 years and they just now started offering LED tails the past year. The 2GS sold in higher numbers with more people modding than the 1GS.

I don't think any company will produce a 1GS tail set as the demand is soft.

Even in my JDM mags, I've never seen it.

i personally don't think altezzas should be anywhere near the GS3, but if you want to do something with the tails, you could tint them...just throwin it out there.
