i just totaled the front of my car ...and i told the garage i would get all the lights for the car so they can put them in.. my car is a 96..and i was wondering if there was anyway i could replace the headlight with a 97 and the corner marker too?

 

YES. The headlights are a direct fit replacement and I believe the cornerlights are the same. However you must consider that the 97-99 lights are plastic (where the 95-96 lights are glass), and the 97-99s cost more money. http://bgarner.tripod.com/1995nissanmaxima/id3.html - you will find directions here on mzmtg's page (very good) on how to make the 95-96s clear, and they will remain glass. Just remeber to get the headlights aimed properly and don't forget you are paying more for less expensive material.
