Jimbowned · Sep 15, 2009, 02:34 PM

Hey how you doin evolutionm. I'm new to the forum as well as to Lancers. I recently bought aftermarket euro style altezza taillights from Ebay. When i recieved them the package did not contain bulbs and my stock ones do not fit. The seller basiclly denied my complaint.Is it possible to purchase these or any other advice to put these in securely. Thank you

Did you just need the bulbs or connectors too? Which lights did you get?

these are the tail lights i got except mine were for a 06 es and this is also different seller...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...Q5fAccessories and i have the stock connectors but there are 4 bulbs while the new lights have 3 spots for bulbs and they dont even fit so would there be a online site i could find those.

Oh wow. Try to find out the connector they use. When I bought mine through DEPO, they came with all the bulbs and a wiring harness so it was just plug and play.

yeah they said it was plug and play,but it wasn't. I've been looking all over for them and every place is telling me you can't get that seperately. I'm considering just using strong adhesives and bootlegging it cuz i paid 107$ for them.

Wow ebay is where I got my tail lights from it was plug and play wierd. Did you check his feedback before purchase?

Jimbowned · Sep 17, 2009, 09:39 PM

He was a power seller with thousands of sales and never had a negative comment. So anyone got any advice for my situation.

did it come with a harness attached to the tails ? my depo ones came with bran new harnesses.. from what it looks like just use your old tail lamps wire harness

can you get better pics in the daylight?.... im looking into replacing mines cause one sides seal is fubared and wanna see what they look like.. have you mounted these yet ?

Ok from the link to the other taillights looks like you knew there were no bulbs or wires but that your stock ones were supposed to fit correct? As the other tailights clearly show no bulbs or wires of any kind. I know damn near all ebay crap is never direct fitment something is always off even if a little, I bought my spoiler taillights and mirrors off ebay and you get what you pay for low grade craftsmanship. All of my stuff is off here or there I had to trim stuff to get it to fit and look good. Maybe you might need to trim the sockets a little is what I am getting at. I think I paid $135 for mine shipped and all I had to do was unplug the one wire harness for each light and plug in my new ones but even then they still dont quite sit in correctly and they fog

oh well

those pictures were my own they implied the fact that it would come with harness. I did mount them(terribly/temorarily)and they didnt even fit my car which involved a mess of duct tape just because they actually look really nice and i couldnt go back to stock. My next purchase will have to be legit tail lights with the same design if possible. Will post pics tonight.
