Tail Light/ Blinker Mod

So I was looking at Craig Brace's Page Of Maxima Stuff And Noticed the Tail Light/Blinker Reverse Mod (As it shows Maxima's in the Ad's) And Decided to do it to mine. It looks pretty nice with running lights on, but can be a bit odd looking at night when half of the red light lights up, along with a bright orange blinker light. Blinkers look cool too IMO.

Here Is a Pic:

Eh, I dont know...I saw them on Josh's maxima when I was in Indiana and personally think they're weird and makes the car look like it has messed up wiring. I rather keep mine stock looking but hey I give you props on doing a nice job

um sorry, but that blinking is seriously gay to me.
I am personally of the opinion that amber rear turn signals should be MANDATED by law on every production vehicle.
this BS with tail lighys doing stop and turn is just stupid and potentially dangerous especially with the amount of moronic drivers out there.
Heck I was behind a driving school car out on a lesson that only had 1 functional taillight! that is an automatic fail of the driving test.

Looks like a ticket for me. Or atleast a good reason to get pulled over.

You're making it too easy for a bored cop to bust your chops.

Ok photoshop me a Corvette with amber turn signals (rear, of course).

Not that I disagree with you, its just looks weird on some cars.

But I won't do that mod on my car, I much rather change the bulbs.(Keeping spares)

94maxshima, I'm no expert but as I recall, Drifting is your car moving in one direction and your car's front is pointed at around or over 15 degrees away from that direction, and you car is decelerating at a relatively low rate, with a skid, or at least if it is at a faster rate, the direction of the car is changing for a new direction.

Basically I'm saying that you Maxima Drift 2 was a spinout. Not a drift.
Arguably you cannot drift a FWD, it's considered a powerslide.

Gotta run

Edit: Shouldn't the entire tail light should blink, like a Corvette. That will look better

What are you talking about ??...

I switched back to Stock Lights because I didn't like the way it looked when brakes engaged.

To be honest, I've never liked the look of that at all
Some guy asked me to put it on my page so I did. He later passed away in a car accident so that's why I keep it on there.

Honestly, it looks like an s13 240SX. Kinda. More than it looks like a Maxima, at least. I can't say I like it though.

Besides, Craig said the guy who wanted it died. Related? Hmm...

Hah, Lets hope not for my sake.

My Right Tail Light has been giving me problems like crazy and I can't figure out why, when I did the bulb swap for the pic above I had to splice a wire and add more onto it so it would be long enough to reach without stress (one wire; no big deal) And it's worked for a while, then all of the sudden blew my running/parking light fuse and they don't light up correctly. I have it to where now when running lights are on, they both work reguarly, (both as in the top two bulbs in my right lense) and when I apply brakes only the left one lights up. I've worked on it for quite some time now so I just ordered a new circuit board from ebay of an 89.

If It Aint Broke, Don't fix it is right...
