No max foreign or US use yellow (or orange) corner lights. That yellow fog look is for euro's imported into the US & more to do with US regs - in Europe modern cars generally use white (only the older pre-80s use yellow). Same goes for Japanese domestic market cars.

yours will be different, but I wouldn't necessarily say Euro
unless you're talking about the front blinkers down in the bumper
those are clear in the US but orange on euro and aussie maximas

What I was refering to was yellow foglights, not the indicators in the bumper or the corner lights. Euro, Aussie & Kiwi max's don't get indicator repeaters like US & Jap max's - our's are blanked off clears with a repeater light mounted on the fender between the wheel arch & the door. Wish our cars ahd the clear bumper indicators - they look cool
I have seen some clear corner lights ex Japan that use an orange bulb in the repeater light - which is what you guys do with your clears - but that was at a used parts importer. Have never seen on a car, so I'm guessing they're not genuine Nissan.
Personally, don't know why you'd want to change the white corner light to yellow, though...

on the US corners, the orange part isn't a repeater, it's just on with the parking lights unless you rewire it
Like James said, I got my corner lights from a friend in England who was selling his car. From the dealer over there, they're something like $80 each and then shipping would add even more.
PM awsm66, he uses some tint/clear coat mixture that looks much better than any other tint sprays other people have used

I didn't know the orange part wasn't a repeater on US max's - makes sense that it's a clearance light, though, because of your regs. On JDM max's it's a repeater light.
Hey Thumpyls, good luck with your mod - it will def look different.
