Euro tails for a 3rd gen max

Whats up, i was looking on ebay just to see what they had for 3rd gen maximas. And then i seen a picture euro tail lights for 92-98 bmw and they look like the same size and shape of the tailights that are used for 3rd gen maxima's. I was just wondering if these are able to be modified to fit a 93 maxima just like the e36 headlights for a maxima??

This is a link to the lights

If there is a God, than NO....

but seriously there is a 3rd gen in NY that has Altezza tails, but it doesn't look like a direct fit, maybe a little modding-->

yea his is nice. but he said that he got his from another country. I would tyr and do the mod only if i could get a refund if they didn't fit. I'm pretty sure that they could be modded to fit though.

another country?? um okay...they sell cheesy Euro tails everywhere, Ebays got millions of them. either way they'll take some body work to fit...the only prob is once you cut the car up to try to fit them there is no point in not going all the way cause the stockers probably won't fit anymore.

i am glad someone spoke up about cheesy altezza style lights. i cannot stand that look. altezza style tails make the car look like a redneck wal-mart trinket. like a cracker jacks snack toy surprise. and, yes, i have bought things from wal-mart. like toothpaste and socks.

i would rather have scoobie-doo and unicorn-with-rainbow stickers all over my stock tails than spend hundreds on gaying it up with altezzas.

Just don't put them on, and people won't make fun of you for it. If you like them, then fine.. but you're not the one who has to look at them... it's the people behind you.. and if 99% of the other people out there say they're Fugly, then most likely the cops will say the same thing- especially since they're illegal to begin with.

hey, child, go home and have mommy make you some warm milk. okay, baby?

altezza style lights look good, maybe, only on the actual car by that name. the copycats look like hammered ****.

Wait! they are they illegal? do people intentionally rear end others that have euros just to make the pain of looking at them stop? I hate them as much as PT Cruisers... especially the Cruisers with the euro tails...

So anyway this post has a point... kinda...
As long as we are on the topic of swapped lights, will a pair of cefiro head lamps fit on the 3rd gen maxima?

Do you make big bloody cuts on your arms/legs and swim in shark infested waters?
