Day 3 with the 99 max

Day 3 with the 99 max
The maxima is a whole new experience compared to a civic. But steering from the obvious. I've had a couple things in the back of my head (1) the temp gauge is smack in the middle of H and C. Every car I've driven has had the needle pointing more towards the C than the H and never in the middle. (2) Made my clearance lights stay on bright all the time (used the clipper and electrical tape); is there any harm to the harness that I should be careful of? (3) ebay has the indiglo/whiteface gauges for the 98-99 max. the one in the picture has the fuel on the right instead of the left, has anyone bought off of ebay and what were the outcomes? (4) Wanted to buy the 1157 red led lamps for the brakelights all preassembled and they go for 10 bucks a piece. Is there a major difference with them? or just a showy kinda thing. I want my brakelights to really stand out. (5) Wondering if I did the rear red/clear mod, will the blinker side look relatively simliar to the stock backup light lense, is there a huge difference, and if so, what can I do to make it more simliar (6) I was reading the how to's to make the blinker in the front stay on all the time and the author used 1157 sockets with silicon. Is there an easier way?
I realize now most of the stuff is kinda ricey, but ehh it's what I can afford for right now. Thanks in advance to everyone who helps out.

No harm to the harness that I have heard of, but there have been problems with the housing cracking from the heat. I have had mine done (i actually rewired mine) for about 6 months, and no problems yet.
As for the rest of your questions, that was a long post and, well...

2.) Depending on what kind of plastic lense that you use will it looks similar. I don't think that there would be a hugh difference but if there is just do the trunk lights. If you don't want to do the mod yourself get them from www.custommaxima.com
