Any clear head light for 95 Maxima?

Are there any after market clear head lights produced for 95 or 96 Maxima's? I was also thinking that there may be a possibility that Infinity clear head lights would fit? Can anyone help?

They changed the bumper in 97, thats why the 97 clear headlights dont fit. I think. Am i correct?

they fit, just have a little extra room. some people on here run them with 95/96 bumpers. you just need to fabricate to get it to stay snug, prolly not hard at all. they definately look better. if it wasn't so much $$ i'd do it in a second.

No no no. All (american 4th gen maxima) headlights are the same size. I bought TYC 97-99 replacements, and fit with no modifications at all. See:

97-99 are the same size, but some people say they're more on the plastic side (95-96 are glass) so their beam pattern is better. Best way to decribe them:
95-96 are like cloudy bumper lights
97-99 are like diamond cut bumper lights

When you say TYC 97-99 replacements, are they from the dealer or somewhere else. Thanks

And SpeedCrazie, how much for the clear lenses?

TYC is a company that sells replacements(non OEM). Check ebay, they have sets for well under $200...

TYC is cheaper (all around) then Genuine Nissan/Koito lights. The lens feels thinner and the reflector looks cheaper made compared to OEM. Thats why I paid ~$170 shipped for the pair. Also one of the headlight aiming tabs fell off already.

Where can I order them from? And you say that 1997 clear headlights from the dealer are better right?

Go ask in the Classified section. You can probably get a used pair from $100-$150 shipped. If you want new, the dealer will charge maybe $400 for the pair.

While you're at it, get the corner lights too
