Place Altezza lights on ground at least 30 feet from rear of Maxima

Soak Altezzas and surrounding ground with gasoline

Light Altezzas on fire

Send me all your money because you clearly have no idea how to spend it

I agree to that, You may not like ALtezzas yourself but obviously its his first post, it could he his first car.

he just wants to know how to change them, if he asked what you think about them, then say how your feel.

Alternative to steps 2 and 3,

Put car in reverse

Apply throttle generously

you guys are evil.

It's easy. Each light is two pieces. Each piece has 4 nuts that hold it on.(10mm I think) All you gotta do is take the lights out, as if you were changing the bulbs, and then take the 4 nuts off. Then pull the light out. The sealer that's on hte stock lights can be messy, but they will come out.


btw...if you haven't bought them yet, put deep thought into this mod! there is a very good chance you will get tired of them fast. I used to have them, but quickly got tired of that look. Think about it.

We are all entitled to our own opinions.


If he doesn't have enough sense to go and pop his trunk and at least BEGIN to TRY, he would have never have had to post nor bought those hideous things.

If you want altezzas go get a civic, please. I've seen many maxes recently with altezzas and all of them are some punk *** kids. They look like **** every single time I see them.

Base on person taste, if you like Altezza on your butt than install it. I've install neon on my car and I like it. If you ask rice question, you get flame. That's the way it goes here. People hate ricer here.

The Moderator might close this thread or delete my post. There, i said it.

Just make sure you get 95-96 specific as the trunk lights are a different fit to the 97-99.
And hey welcome to the forum on the whole most people are helpful, but there's always going to be some opinionated sheep try to ignore them, if it was up to them we would all have the exact same Maxima's..... wouldn't that be cool

yeah, do yourself a favor and just return them, or dont buy them if you havent yet. i wouldnt purchase them for my car, just because they look horrible. some cars can look good with them, but not ours. it sucks because the 95-96 red/clears are hella expensive, but your stock would look better than altezzas.

Hey guys come on now. Altezzas are a matter of taste. Obviously it's bad taste, but nonetheless it's that guys choice.

Oh yea, I vote 9mm too.

I paid 75 dollars for my all clear outer tails and about $4 for the paint to make them red/clear. Not too bad of a price to pay, not "hella" expensive.

step one, open trunk
step two, remove the carpet stuff
step three, unbolt them
step four, pull really hard maybe use a hairdrier for help
step five, insert new lights
step six, bolt them in
step seven, put back carpet stuff
step eight, shut trunk
step nine, get owned every time you drive your car.

The idea of modding or customizing is to have a vehicle unique to your personal tastes, that is why the market is so huge and diverse. If we all had the exact same mods there wouldn't be any point. People in the customizing business never do the same thing twice so why do so many people insist on being clones/sheep to be accepted. Get a back bone! Do what you want not what others think you should do! If some one asks for opinions then so be it, but all this poor guy did was asked for is installation help!

I also agree with "newdiamond".... who wants to be a donating member to a forum where this first time you post a thread you get flamed! One thing feeds another, it's what makes the world go round, course those who flame anything different to sheep still think the worlds flat anyway, maybe they can drive their clone Maxima following the sheep in front of them off the edge of their flat world do the rest of us a favour.

Lot's of people here always say Altezza's are for Civics.

Well Red/Clear tails also look like Civics as well, so what's your point fellas?

what the hell guys...leave the poor guy alone...if he wants altezza's let him get altezza's....besides i see more civics with red/clear tails then altezza's i guess most of you guys are wanna be civics anyways maxlinegtr is no punkass kid...at least he has the sc setup to back it up...

dude, don't listen to what these people are saying, if you want those lights, then get them, don't let anyone on here make you feel bad for the mods you like...most of them only like maximas with stillen kits and evo 5 wheels and red/clears.
