I dont know why so many people flame others who want to change their tail lights or other parts like them. if people want to change them, let them change it. if everyone did the same thing as everyone else sooner or later we would all be driving similar cars.
Check APC for some tail lights. im not to sure about a website, but they are the number one supplier of aftermarket tail lights around.

Two words regarding Altezzas: HELL NO!!!!
If you really have to change your tail lights, at least be more unique and classy about it. There's a fairly nice-looking one out there that resembles the rear lights on Jaguars; I can't remember the brand but you can run a search on this forum for it.
And if your girl insists on getting Altezzas, I say you should give her the boot!

Well if you want to change the tailights, imo altezza style lights in chrome clashes heavily with any of the wrx's colors, instead, how about altezzas in black or maybe the jeweled style that looks like the 04's?
Here's links to both, you might find better prices on ebay though, this is for picture reference.
"Jaguar Style" / 04' Jeweled style
compared to:
ewwww
These are pretty ugly in layout, but they have it in black:
Matrix Motorsports versions
I'm sorry i can't find what i was really talking about, but you can imagine those chrome eurotails under "ewww" with black instead of chrome.
You can probably get it to be black, and it would look a lot better imo than just chrome. Since the manufacturing on these parts are usually questionable, and sometimes leads to leaking and stuff, it might be a good idea to do what we call the "headlight mod" which is basically taking apart the unit, and painting any areas inside the tailight black or some other color (please paint it black or it'll be more "rice" than before) and while you're at it you can reseal the whole thing using better silicone and thus avoid the leakage.
Finally.......why groan about other people's mods, be helpful and not look like every other guy that rips on other people for what they wanna do, if you think it looks bad, laugh at them when they're done, but at least let them do it if they want to. We're all about being helpful here at i-club, and those altezza comments that have been said more times than heather locklear's gotten facelifts, aren't helpful at all.
Good luck on finding a good price, i myself would not pay much for replacement taillights that i'll probably have to reassemble to make up for a potential manufacturing defect.

I realy didn't come here to flame or be flamed. Just a simple question, looking for a simple answer. And honestly I only used the word Altezza for lack of a better term. Now seeing the definition of Altezza I completely agree with you guys. However I do like the Jeweled look, Seraph thanks for the links but the problem I am having is finding the lights to fit the '04. Everything out there is made for the '02-'03 models.
Thanks again for your help guys.
If anyone else has any other suggestions please pots them up.

oh yah i completely forgot about painting the lights.
like what seraph said about the quality of most of these altezza lights. they are not to great and may cause problems.
painting your lights will make them different, and they look sooooo nice.

Umm....havnt you noticed the 04 Taillights LOOK just like those "Jaguar Style" Tail lights except for the shape...its still colored CLEAR plastic (not diffused lighting like the 02/03).
I dunno what else you could be looking for
