Default Taillights

Ok, i know some people think its ricey to put on altezza taillights on cars but i have always liked the look. I was wondering if somebody can give me some websites for some name brand taillights besides APC and Ebay for me to look for.

BTW i just bought some tailllights from ebay and im not happy with them. Heres the link so you can see.

The corner taillights dont fit all the way and one of the bolt holders snapped with very little torque(i was screwing it on with my hand). The last thing that upsets me is the trunk part of the taillights, for some reason i thought the red circle would light up which it doesnt, there isnt any wiring for the brake light (at first i though maybe it was made for a dual element bulb) and i had to buy a new light for the backup light. Just had to vent.

One of our vendors might carry them.

i have those same exact ones. and i cant find any back up bulbs either. so i just drive without them. i also hate the lights. they well at least mine arent water tight so everytime it rains they fill up with water and when i open the trunk water pours out and gets everything wet. and the corners dont fit perfect. but i do think they look good. one of the better alteeza styles ive seen. i just dont have the money right now to go buy the tailights i want.

The trunk part of the taillights have wiring for backup lights. The bulb number 1156 if that helps, just make sure you get white bulbs.

If you find a specific brand that you like, let me know and I will try to get them for you (if we don't already have it).

Sam that is the problem im having now. I really like the taillights i have now but they dont fit and not all the lights are there, the trunk taillights only have backup lights. Can you help me find some new ones or replace the ones i have with better quality ones?
