i went to this site http://www.shpracing.com/obx_taillamps.cfm

and it says: Nissan Maxima 1995-1999 9799NLC Clear Tail Lamp (4pc set) $537.62

i dont know thats kinda alot but i want the midlle peices
is any1 else wants these may if we can get a group deal ?????

 

i would like all clears also but if it's gonna be over 500 then i'll just pass...honda/acura pay no more then 199 for all clears...but it's ur money so ur choice...

 

There's a guy on Cheston's site that sells the custom red and white lenses for 200/pr.

 

That seems outrageous for clears.

 

its a totally rip off or a scam.....

 

LOL.... have you lost it man? you can put a NOS system in your car for cheaper than clear tails...

also: if you did get them and then got rear ended, hmmm...

 

But why the hell is it that every time somebody writes a post about all clear tail lights,somebody has to bring up the half red/half clear. In your opinion they look nice, but other people probably want to do something different. I personally think all clear tails would look phat. If you can't help the person with their question, don't offer them another product. Thanks

 

Fat Sacks,

Just trying to help . I think that $500 is ridiculous to pay for ANY tail lights . I was illustrating the point that the half red/clears, have to be custom made and they aren't even $500 . I like clear lenses too. Sorry I didn't make myself clear

 

i think a high quality clear would be acceptable. personally i think that trend is about out of here. i seen a 2000 corvette with clears and it looked ok. if you get them let us see how they look. compare the new price of the stock tails, to the price of the clears. to give you an idea, if its in the ball park. then you may be able to negotiate a fair price.

 

You may also be able to find clears at Nopi.com, or on Ebay.
There's company in my area that may be able to help you too
check out their site www.accelerationpluss.com .

 

i don't think in my opinion that the clears would look remotely good on the max.

all someone would have to do it bump you from behind, and them they would own your car.

 

i will sue there *** and get a gs430

 

i just called its not that much ...the orig price is in Canadian money the new price is like 336.00 +ship ...but prob is it still outragous for earlier replies

 

you talk stupid kid....

 

Err, it's been proven in courts taht if you have clear tail lights, your insurance company is not liable to pay for a darn thing, infact, the other guy that hit you can and probably will sue *you*.

 

what ever u say buddy...

 

i dont know what state you live in but if you are hit from behind the person that hit is liable for damages done...the clear tail lights are legal as long as you have red lights that can be seen through them....what proven cases are you talkin about...in what states is this in???

 

I'd be interested in some hard facts about this. Maybe a case where someone with clears was hit and had to pay with NAMES and DATES etc. Maybe a letter from a ins co stating that if you use clear tails you'll be paying for whatever hits you with NAMES, DATES, CO NAMES, etc....

what a dumb ***!!!!
its federal law(meaning all states have to follow certain guide line)... go get your lights and i'll hit you from the rear.
then i'll own you.....

 

Go buy a set of clear tail lights and see what the warning label on the box says.

 

Federal law? What law? Can you site the exact law? Is there a section#/web site/psychic phone#/etc that you can site for us?

I'm not saying that its not true, I'd just like to see some kind of proof is all.

Jack

 

Sorry, don't know the exactly page number to satisfy your question but here it is again:

for the back, you need red brake lights, red reflector, red or amber turn signals. On the side, yuo need red reflector for the rear and orange/amber for the front.

-Shing

 

incorrect sir. you also need a red reflector.. and yuo need RED light no pink.

-Shing

 

500 is a rip and I agree it's the copy cat rearing it's ugly head again. I have a friend who works at an auto accessiory place and apex sells the clears wholesale to them for 150$ now mark it up and your in the 200 ballpark. Same price as the guy with the red clear set up that's "LEGAL"

As someone said earlier it's your money nd your opinion do what you will. I just shake my head and so do everyone I know that see's cleartails. It's just dangerous

I don't think it is worth it for clear tails for like $500 be it CND or USD. You can get clear tails for a 95-96 max on ebay for $110 USD + shipping..... For 97-00 you'll either have to do it yourself or buy it off someone here that clears them out... I believe the 97-00 are being offered for $200 USD

 

hey im intrested in lights so if u make an order just reply back thanks i have a 95 se

 

I'd be interested in seeing the exact section thats in. It just would lay this to rest once and for all.

I tryed to do a search on the web for this. Federal law that says I have to have red lenses, reflectors, etc.

Went to DOT, nada, can't find any laws. Lots of stuff on safety and seatbelts, etc...

Went to yahoo and drilled down to this:
Govt/law/federal
Can't find anything on 'motor vehicle' here... then I find this link from there:

http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p...+motor+vehicle

heh, its all STATE DMVS!! Not ONE fed site that has ONE motor vehicle state law in it.... (I'm sure there *IS* one, I just can't find it)

So, I had this link to the MO state laws, and looked there just for fun to see if theres a law like that in my state.

Found this:

http://www.moga.state.mo.us/statutes...99/3070075.htm

"Every motor vehicle ... shall be equipped with at least two rear lamps ... which when lighted will exhibit a red light"

Sounds like clears are legal here, but I may be wrong.

Anyone else out there better at research that wants to help?

Jack

 

okok... 1. the like are all 4 (not 2 outter) all four
2. as long as you put led lights the one some1 advertises it looks red not pink right now i have them on my outter 1s personally i dont like it thats y im willing to spend the 350 on them shipped... i dont know why all of the people care how much i spend its my money if you cant afford or dont feel like (so call throwing your money away)i personally dont care what you have to say this post was intended for thise who were intrested in getting maybe a deal on them if we got a few people to order them.
3. the whole thing about the laws....i dont think ur know what your talkin about...if these lights were illegal y would they sell them in the state that i live in??? i dont think thats would be legal... but im not sure so maybe im wrong
4. i like the clear lights i think it would look good so if im happy thats all i care about...
peace im out

 

by pointless argument, so heres my 2 cents. I was in court TODAY (innocent by the way, exactly) anyways I asked a group of cops about just that, are all clear tails legal and will they harrass me if I get them. They said they are fine, as long as the bulbs are the colors of the original lens.

So with that taken care of, I'd like to add that the thread starter just wanted to make some info available for those that are interested. Those that are not interested, don't post.

 

i don't know where you think this is but if you replace the rear for clears on any car, that automatically puts you at fault.

my 2 cents

Pay 5oo

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...692865&r=0&t=0

100 bucks here

Notice no bids hehe

If I bought these what do I have to do to get the half I want red? Paint? what is good? Thanks

A while ago, some guy had a website up describing what happened to him when he had his clears. Basically he had a Civic w/ all clear taillights, someone rearended him. The insurance of the guy who hit him refused to pay since he had the clears. Then the guy who hit him took him to court and sued for damages and claimed he couldn't see his brake lights due to the clears. The guy won and the guy with the clears was forced to pay for damage to the other guys car too. Ended up costing him more than 10k to pay for damages. Wish I could find the link, but I totally forgot.

BTW, the LED lights are red, but they are kind of dim, and during the day it will be hard to see.

I've seen quite a few cars now that have rear end damage and clears, don't know if it's just coincidence, but it seems strange. I like the look of clears on some cars, but if you get hit, you pay.

 

you go look it up.... it will make yourself worthwhile

boy your annoying.. i'll make you a deal
i'll show you the laws and but then you will have to promise never to post again. hows that sound???

 

this is why we should keep trying to get altezza styled lights for the tail lights on the max

my .03 cents

 

WOW, a post that has gone straight to hell and it wasn't b/c of me or SprintMax...

Anyway, I don't think federal law mandates anything that has to do with lenses on a car. Second, conerning the tailights, i paid less to have the lexus IS300 lights custom fitted onto the back, and I think it looks great. I put the MAXIMA letters and the NISSAN emblem back on and that sh*t look really hot. I doubt the price will decrease much, if at all, so if it's the complete clear you want, go for it! Post pics.

 

okok... 1. there are all 4 lenses (not 2 outter) all four
2. as long as you put led lights the one some1 advertises it looks red not pink right now i have them on my outter 1s personally i dont like it thats y im willing to spend the ****350***** not 537.00 on them shipped... i dont know why all of the people care how much i spend its my money if you cant afford or dont feel like (so call throwing your money away)i personally dont care what you have to say this post was intended for thise who were intrested in getting maybe a deal on them if we got a few people to order them.

3)The lights will come with a disclaimer stating "For offroad use only" and maybe some papers telling you to check state laws before installing. There are no laws against selling clear lenses just laws about using them.

4)I agree that they would look good it's just I think most people think they are overpriced.

 

350.00 for the only 4pc set made????hmmmmm
