I love my maxima =) killed an Eclipse with
and intake, exhaust, and 12" spoiler 
This car 0wNs!! but the thing i hate most about it... THE ******* CLEARANCE LIGHTS 
lol, upgraded all the other bulbs on the front to something a little brighter, but the clearance bulbs are dim little pieces of crap. So i go and buy some blue 1157's and they turn out to be dull dark blue. I can't find any "brighter" 1157's so i decide, screw it, if they want to look yellow, i'll get some bulbs to make them orange so that it looks like they're supposed to be that way. Well they're a dim orange. Why'd nissan have to switch bulbs in 97? sigh, i guess i'm doomed to have stupid looking clearance lights

you can rewire those lights to make both filaments light up. they will be alot brighter.

does it automatically become brighter? or do you have to do something with the wire?
I have 95 max, I'm assuming that'll work for 95-96 max.
also on stock 97-99 max, does the corner bulb become brighter
only when you turn on the blinker?(this is what happened to 95-96 max)

when you change from dual to single filament, the bulb is brighter because on the stock dual filament socket, it only lights up the lower wattage filament which is like 5 watts. but when you go to single filament bulb and socket, the wattage is more like 21w already or something similiar.

Hey sx7r what brand lights are you using for:
Headlights?
Fogs?
Clearance and side markers?
Your setup looks nice.
Looks like it matches up pretty well.
