i think i may be able to handle this... if not i will ask my brother... he is the expert.
but only one problem... i have a 98 maxima, and those directions are for 95-96 maximas. the link that explains the 97-99 is dead.

his car is difintily hooked up. he told me about he blue light. so thats what i am going to do. also change your gague light when you do that. and get these lights. i just installed them today and they look great. i am waiting for my firend to return my digital cammera, when i get it back i will show you some pics. diffinitly these bulbs are worth it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...em=2407175162. with this bubls you could get a look of a jetta. i dont know if you see a jetta dashboard gauge. its blue where the numbers are. and i think it looks great. as soon as i get my digital camera you know what i am talking about.

I did this in my 95 using the 5V bulbs, because the 3.7V ones were way too bright. Front and back were easy. I have a 99 now, and I am almost 100% sure that the front switches are the same across ALL 4th gens (with the possible exception of the 99-Limited). The LEDs in the back switches are tiny little things that you can't really remove, but you can solder in a regular LED on top of them if you're careful. If you are not very careful, you can ruin the solder pads and then the light will never work (even putting a new bulb in won't work). Trust me.. I killed both rear switch bulbs a couple of weeks ago trying this.
