1) if you want any kind of help from here THEN DON'T USE FREAKING CAPITALS, WE CAN HEAR YOU PERFECTLY, BY USING CAPITALS WE ARE ASUMING THAT YOU ARE YELLING

2) just a recomendation, use a search feature, it has great threads about this subject, which has been talked about only 50 billion times

3) unless you find them for sale on this forum I doubt you will find anyone selling them. they were discontinued a long time ago and unfortunatly you are out of luck

Wow. Don't use CAPS like that.

You'll have to hold your breathe with the 95-96 red/clears. Custommaxima is supposedly in the process of manufacturing them, but it could be a while. Nice Red/clears are probably one of the hardest things to find; an easy, DIY alternative would be the red-out.
Read the whole thread and you'll know where to get the paint or the tape, whichever you choose. I recommend the tape.

If that worked, we would all be doing it...

I woudl suggest trolling the forsale board and ebay...that is abotu your only hope of finding red/clears or all clears (to paint).

Sorry, but I30 tails don't go on a Maxima without bodywork.

I am sure there is a way to di it but it would be difficult and take time. Lots of time.
You have to get the light cover from home depot or something. Put it in the oven for a couple of minute so it softens. then put it over the tail light and hold it there until it hardens. Then cut off the edges you don't need. The hard part is getting all the orange off of the red. Once you do that get some super glue to glue the clear peice you made to the red and the rest of the assembly and then you have your red/clear tails for a 95/96 maxima.

I don't think you can do this with a 95/96, only a on97/98/99

No on the 97-99 you place the peice inside the taillight.
What I'm saying is that you actually break the orange off of the red and glue on the peice. This requires a lot more work than the 97-99 because you just push it in the 97-99. The 95/96 95/96 actually requires that you replace the orange mold with your own mold. If I can ever get an extra tail light to practice on i'll let you know about it.

I love them, classy without the trashy. I especially like driving by Max's that are not down with the Org and watch them check out my @ss. When I go to the mall or something I park right next to max's with those nasty Amber tails

I spent $175, but right now I could sell them anywhere from $175 to $200+, it's acually an investment.
They don't give me 20hp, but then again you can't see 20hp while you're parked.

definitely whippin a 5-speed. no immediate plans for forced induction either.
Three cars was a bit much but those Cl's aren't that fast. My friend has that trip tronic nonsense. they weigh a 1/4 ton more than a 4th gen max
