Euro lights are gay (no offense to any homosexual members, of course). I spent a week in Europe, and only saw ONE car with clear & chrome tails, and it was a frikkin' Honda. And trust me, it wasn't for lack of looking... I was seriously jazzed about seeing real European cars in action.

I think that was initially just a marketing gimmick, like "corinthian" leather.

Altezza was a Lexus in Japan that Started the trend... That's why sometimes they are called Altezza Lights and sometimes they are called Euro-tails

The IS was originally sold as the Toyota Altezza in Japan until the introduction of the second generation Lexus IS design. The Altezza name is still used at times to depict chromed car taillights like those known on the first generation model.
