Before I got my lancer, I was looking at getting blacked out lights all around but actually now owning it I find the stock ones to damn smexy, especially the tail lights.

Lucky you guys and your clear factory models. :(

I have the red ones still, my car's been called an albino cos of it. Gonna change them into the newer factory ones soon like you guys have, otherwise might just give it a bit of night shade if that thing is still legal =.= (as far as I know it's most likely not).

Ah good ole' night shade

You should be able to find at least one wrecked lancer being parted out. I saw quite a few 4B12's on ebay with like 20,000kms on them, they must be selling the rest of the car too you'd think.

Not that I'm going to be the best judge as I don't have my lancer yet but the first set of altezza lights would set you apart.
The second set are damn sexy as well but I've seen them around a fair bit. Up to of course. I think if you decide on either your improving the look instantly.

If anyone knows with thoose LES tail lights, Ive heard some of them mess with the cruise control and can throw a CEL warning, anyone heard of this?

Mine just threw an ASC warning... If that's relevant?

They shouldnt throw any warnings. The early altezza tail lights used to occasionally do something with the cruise control...but ive had no troubles with mine.

Damnn
Yeah I'll drive for about 10 mins and the asc off msg will pop up
Only way to get rid of is turn car off and restart and then it happened a again after 10mins of driving or so...
