Altezza Lights for 2000 Rodeo

[thebigreddog16]

Just wondering if anyone knows where you can buy Altezza Lights for a 2000 Rodeo LS? I only can find ones that fit up to 1997 and ones that fit Isuzu Hombres and S10's on eBay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

nope no one makes them. This is a common request i read over the last 7 years, but still no one makes them.

Actually, someone does make them and they've been selling quickly on Ebay. I just bought a pair for $52.99. They fit 1998-2004 Isuzu Rodeos. They're sold by a company called Vertex Racing.

While we are on the subject of Altezza lights........I'll share a story about state car inspections. I bought some cool looking lights for my '97 Rodeo, but when I went to get the annual Maine State inspection sticker I was told the lights have to come off. Reason - no DOT compliance mark on the lens. I guess they don't pass the OEM safety standard. So, I had to screw the originals back on (good thing I still had them) to pass inspection. Of course the Altezza's went back on the next day. For the last three years I've played this swap game. The new lights look too good and my old ones were faded and cracked. Just thought I'd let you know to check your state's inspection rules and look for the DOT mark.

Well, to my dismay the lights don't fit. Ive contacted other people of Ebay that bought the same lights and they all have the same problem. The screw holes are nowhere near where they're supposed to be. The part where you screw in the bulbs doesn't fit, and the side angle of it is too short. But they do offer full refund for it. They said they were made for Taiwanese spec Rodeos not USA spec rodeos. Oh well, I guess I'll keep on waiting then.
