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.
