I don't think they make one like your talking about. I heard the ones for Acura/Honda dies real quickly between the rain and the heat. I think it is low glow or street glow makes a kit to design your own saying that lights up..you could try that.

Varad is the company I think you're thinking about.

They sell a kit where you can make a sticker light up.

It can either be a design you by from them or your own custom design.

lit up

i know how cool that would be! i did it on my old eclipse back in the day and it was relatively easy

i think that it would be harder for a max though. i played around with it myself about a month ago. i went on e-bay and bought some older emblems for a couple of bucks to practice on and see how it would turn out

basically what i did was take an exacto knife and try to melt the inside on the words "NISSAN" on the logo and then sand down the rough edges. it takes some time and i have not perfected it yet, but i think that it could work. it just depends on how bad you want it! then all you have to do is attach some colored glass (from a hobby store) behind it and then attach a light behind your grill.

let me know how you come out!
