Altezza lights (also known as “Euro Taillights” and “Lexus Lights”) are vehicle tail lamp clusters consisting of one or more internal lamp units, covered with a clear (or tinted) acrylic cover made popular by Lexus. Some Altezza lights also include LED lighing.
The style was first used on the rear light clusters on the first generation Lexus IS, which was sold in Japan under the brandname Toyota Altezza. This iconic style of lamp units became known in many circles as ‘Lexus-style’ or ‘Altezza-style’ tail lights.
