there are none, you'd have to get them custom made. but you can do this instead (see attached picture) i'm not sure how to do it, but you're creative.. right? when you find out, let me know how to do it too

All you have to do is take your old lense off your 89.
Being very careful break the red lense inside the lamp assembly
piece by piece and remove the pieces , being very careful not to break the outer lense I have done it succesfully 10 to 20 times only breaking 3 lenses. BIMO, I think it looks silly as I sported this look and relized it looked horrible! Also make sure you go to a shop and get colored bulbs dont want to get a ticket! (red) bulbs!

why do you want to make your max fugly? the reason they dont make them for 3rd gen maximas is because they dont belong on them. get it?

i personally think they look ugly too, but thats not why they dont make them for us. its because there isnt enough demand for them. if he found enough people to want them he could get a company to make them. if he thinks they look good then i think he should do it. thats why people customize there car, to make it how they want, to be a little different.

i think if you had them made professionally, so they were completely clear, instead of having red squares in the middle and on the corner. if your gonna do it yourself tho, be very very carful or your gonna crack them.

Isnt this topic a lil worn out by now? I mean, clear tails arent even really that popular for Honda's anymore, they're starting to get phased out pretty much. Besides, I think they're fugly. I was trying to get some custom made a couple years ago, but decided against it. A couple years back I bought a pair of junkyard tails off an 89 Maxima, and customized them like on that picture. They didnt look too good. I did a nice job, it's just that it looks retarded with the red square on the sides and in the middle, not to mention the "clear" is actually true clear and you can see the whole light fixture through it. Looks retarded.

do like when the 4th gen guys clear there tails and use Flouresent light cover (I think thats what it is) to get rid of the actual clear?
If any of you guys want to know more just ask some one with a 4th gen that cleared there tails.

If you shave the middle section or paint it body color clear tails should look fine
