I installed a set on a friend's car last weekend, installation is a total cinch. Only I recommend is a Dremel to cut some small notches in your gauge housing for the wires and some quick connect wire pierces to run the power.

I recommend running the power to them from your tail light circut, easy access for it behind the fuse block.

Are they the ones from Initial K?

Cheston has a good writeup on how to install them on his site.

Look Nice!

Hey Joe,
Did you get those on ebay? Who did you buy them from and would you recommend the seller? How hard were they to install? I need some for my GLE but I'm not sure which ones to buy.

Hmm, I went to the sight you mentioned. They look just like the ones available on ebay.

http://www.procarparts.com/store/dis...9799-maxima-ig

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...244217&r=0&t=0

is there a difference? I heard there was a difference in the bolt patterns in some of the maximas what year/model is yours?

The "HOW2" Section of maximadriver.com has a great write-up on this with illustrations.

I followed it to the letter, and had no problems. It is easiest to use the dimmer light 12V power. I believe it is the blue/white wire coming out of the dimer switch.

ebmorgan also has a good write-up on this....he's in the NW Maxima Forum. Shoot him a mail.

i have heard negative feedback about that guy bonbon, he just changed his name cause he had a lot of negative feedback he used to be bonbonshaker, sounds like a flamer lol... procarparts had a buy it now auction for 49.99 plus 7 shipping so i took that offer. i had anthony help me with the wiring (ny96maxse) and he brought his test light and spliced it into one of the wires that goes into the back of the gauges, this also works fine. if you have any questions let me know... also if your needles stick, try using a little bit of clear silicone, it worked for me
