okay you guys i already have the corner light rewire and the tail rewire but i've been thinking about a new one. i'm not like an electrician so i wouldnt really know anything about how to do it so thats why i'm asking. i wanted to make the blinkers that are in the front bumper stay on all the time like when the head lights are turned on or something. cuz i got some hyper whites in there and i think it would look tight if they were on all the time. but i guess it would have to still blink though. anyways, that's my idea just wanting to know if any of you guys had any suggestions on how to possibly do it. ahem, cough cough *craig* cough cough.

Since the bulbs arent designed to be on all the time they might melt. I've thought of that before and the melting stopped me from doing it. Also I was wondering if you have a camber kit with your intrax springs?

new rewire

it can be done all u have to due is get a two fillament pigtail... or socket wire up the siganl light and then tap a wire to the parking light....now will the socket fit?.... probably not so u might have to get creative like cut one of the pegs on the socket or use gray making tape ... ive done this when the back of my light housing broke in my old corolla.... it worked and no water leaks.......

no i dont have a camber kit yet...i'm getting one from specialty products that is like +/-1.75 degrees of adjustment and its only like $30 for the kit. http://www.specprod.com

okay excuse me if i'm dumb, but why cant the lights stay on all the time? is it because of the double filament thingy? so basically if i found a way to fit some 1157's in there they should be fine? and what about the actual wiring to make it stay on all the time? sorry for all the questions.

no, you don't want a dual filament bulb in there. i've been thinking about this ,mod too, because i have superwhite colored bulbs in there. with a dual filament bulb, it will be a dim light on all the time, then it will get bright when the blinker is turned on. it'll be just like how the cornering bulb works. we just need to have a single filament bulb on all the time, then blink also. it's the same idea as the side indicator that's next to the cornering lamp. normally it's on all the time, and with the rewire, it blinks too. we just need to have the same exact wires to go to the lamps in the bumper too. i don't know about the melting stuff..

Dang bucktown. I like the way you lowered your max so much. I'd have my max that low too if it weren't for my fear for bumps. The rims are really nice too. They really match the car.

the answer here:
http://www.csupomona.edu/~kkheng/maxima/lightwire.pdf

Kingston did it and he drew that up; it is harder than the normal rewires, but it can be done
the wire colors aren't listed so you can look at my site to find them

Yo Bucktown, how you get your max so long, what springs/struts you use? or did you cut 'em? i got one coil off my intrax's but it sure as hell aint that low, it looks tight bro, also where you live to not hit any bumps, haha, keep it real peace.

Nice paint job Bucktown. Much better than the gray/silver you had before.
