For chrissakes, it's the reverse lights

you're reverse lights won't be on long enough at any period of time for anybody to see or care that its white instead of yellowish.

Just get some hyper white ones, the ones I currently have will light up my whole rear view at night lol.
Anyways I have the APC hyper white from Pep Boys. It's a heck of a lot brighter spreads the same amount of light as well.

haha, he probably will add a switch so he can turn it on at will and show off the ricey bulbs. It'll be riceeeeeeeerrific!

LED'd out interior + underbody glow lights + blue reverse lights = UFO maxima

ur pretty dum. i don't see how white reverse lights could be ricey. i would understand if it was light red, green, blue and so on.

led'd out interior is true & since u seemed to hate them, i guess i can say u also think Arrafio's max(Tony's) seemed a bit ricey in the inside huh, cause i know he had a whole bunch more than i have.

i don't have F*cken underbody glow lights and the reverse lights i posted arn't F*CKEN BLUE!!! if u had blue exposed anywhere, ur *** will get pulled.

at least my car isn't stock biatch

You might as well do, cuz you are heading that direction! Then you will earn the forum ricer title.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH my car is stock! I don't post every little LED/light mod I can think off. Big deal!

I like the sleeper look. And I intend to keep my car a sleeper so I can burn ricers like you.

1. whtever i'll get the freaken lights cause theres one for 2.99 and if i don't like em i can take em out. i view ricers as havin 10ft high wings, 10lbs of vinly graphics, fart can, funky lookin chrome rims (includin plastic spinners),
false emblems, etc. yeh so i have quite a few leds inside my car. big deal, its not like they come on all at the same time.

2. yeh ur car is stock. i posted every led mod i did cause those were all that i did.

3. so u like the sleeper look. so do i, i don't have any of the things stated in 1 and i like to keep my car clean on the outside.
oh, how can u burn me if i have more performance mods than u???????

Alrighty... DR-Max, define rice?

If getting those lights defines rice in your opinion, my opinion on your car is just plain boring.... you can call it rice, but atleast his max doesnt look like the one that the grandma is driving next to you. Your car would be better suited being called a stock maxima, not a sleeper my friend. Sleepers are fast and APPEAR stock, but aren't stock.

LED mod= da shiznit, takes skill to do that.. and it looks damn good

I was thinkin about getting those LEDs rears just because the stock reverse lights sucks B/\LLS. If you do get them, let me know what they are like.

Am I Wrong Here?

yeah, you guys have gotta give it a rest! big deal if he likes LED's and you don't! it's not like he's puttin them on your car. TO EACH THEIR OWN, HUH? I joined this forum cuz I read a lot of stuff where Maxima owners all over talk about their cars and help eachother out. Not to call eachother ricers. Whatever you want to do to your cars is fine by me. Just quit fighting; it wastes space on the forum, and I have 56K!

when I was 16, I had purple reverse lights, and lots of people thought they were cool. I would get comments all the time. Then I grew up and realized I couldn't see anything behind me. Stock bulbs or brighter, color doesn't matter.

How do you know what kinds of mods I have, I don't post all my mods unlike many of you. Sleeper also means that you don't advertise what you got under the hood. You guys post everything.....even the tiniest things like emblems and such.....ridiculoous! I'm not the only one that thinks you are a ricer. Ask around! Maybe the few ricers in this forum should get a club together and knock each of yourselves out with your LED contraptions.

This is not the only thread that you have gotten flamed for your dumb LED mods and questions, who gives a crap about um? Ever thought of searching the FAQs or perhaps searching the forum first, the question you have asked in this thread have been asked a zillion times by other kids like you. This thread should have been locked by a moderator from the get go, another stupid bulb thread. Read the forum guidelines again and don't post another thread like this.....ever! BTW, the mods have been informed to close this thread.

good lord all i wanted was a damn opinion. plus who would wanna look through 50 pages of old threads? never met a grown up who complains so much when u don't even have anything to brag about. plus LEDs are bein used by more more industries now. look at the new infinities. plus they conserve more energy and last longer.

BTW, the mods have been informed to close this thread.
like i give a damn
ur cardomain states ur car is stock

end of argument unless u still wanna act like a kid and keep arguing about this.
