Clearing Out Amber Rear Taillights 95-96
okay....im gonna do this no matter what.LOL. I am tired of the ugly rear tail lights on my maxima and now its time to change them. I'm soon going to buy a rear set of outter tail lights just to experiment on . I'm gonna clear the amber. I've read a few posts of people that have done it and I think it shouldnt be that hard. I was just wondering does anyone have any tips....or recommend and good sites? Thanks - Rehan

you can't clear the amber .. it's part of the taillight .. they can clear the 97-99 because there is a amber insert .. You'd have to cut off the amber and mold the clear into the part that you cut out ... buy some altezzas in the meantime or good luck searching for all clears .. then you have to paint them

there was a thread forever ago about a guy who actually cut it out with a dremel or something. i didn't see it but read about it in another thread. i guess it leaked and looked a lil funny. just keep looking out for clears. in the meantime, paint your stock tails all red, looks better imo.

ok i know this might sounds kind of dumb, but wat if u got the clear glass from the altezzas and find a way to color them, i know they use the relective tape for the 97 clearing. wat if u layed that on the inside and painted it? let me know if im just being crazy

huh...never really thought about that. HMMM good point. But then u would have to buy the $100 altezza's. But still hmmmmm. lets see what other people say.
Conrad238--look at his website. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/220683/3
He opened up the altezza's and he did something with them..hmmm not sure what but maybe u are right u can use that outter casing.

If you compare the two the 97-99 has a flat trunk. 95-96 has a little bump 3/4's the way down. So if u want to change your lights to a 97-99 u have to change the BUMPER,TRUNK,REAR TAIL LIGHTS. Its alot of work just for some lights.
