I just cleared one of my tails, and I craked the corner. Aproximately how much would 1 tail light be at the junk yard?

 

between 50-70 each.

 

I thought thats how much they were from the dealer?

 

Make them an offer. I'd go for $30-$35. I'm about to clear my tails too and I really hope I don't crack them.

 

Use the oven, it works great, buy be VERY carefull

 

Use the oven, it works great, but be VERY carefull

 

dealer from courtesy nissan quoted me for tail lights $54.87 + S&H each!

i need only driver side please sell me yours if you have altezza's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Are you asking me, or just throwing this up for grabs?

 

I do them for $170

 

Cost me 5 bucks and 2 hours of work.

 

Oven? I've cleared the tails on three Maximas including my old one and there is noway an oven is going to work well. If it worked for you congrats, but that is too risky. I'm thinking It'll work but you'll probably end up with bubbles.

 

Have you tried the oven, or are you just saying that. If you just leave them in for 10 mins at 250 degrees, you can just pull the light apart like there's no glue. It's cheaper, and easier then a heat gun.

 

I havn't tried it. I wasn't trying to make a smart remark either, sorry if it sounded that way. It'll save me a good $40 from not having to buy a heatgun.

 

Someone recomended it in an earlier post, and I tried it. I can't imagine an easier way to do this. I'm just trying to share the info about this. I wasn't trying to snap back at you if that what you thought.

 

They are brand new from the dealership and they take me 30 mins for both

 

Let me ask you something, when you cut out the reflector piece, do you make it fit insife the housing part where the orange piece was, or inside the clear plastic part so it covers everything?

 

shame on you for not looking at my sig

i do the whole piece.. it looks cleaner

 

Hi, i wanted to know how you really cleared the corners of your taillights, i'm way behind in mods for my maxima and I wanna catch up to some of you guys. I'm been on here for a while just as a lurker but now I want my presence to be known, thanx in advance.

 

go to www.maximadriver.com look under how-2. Oh, if you've been here a while, you must have heard about the search function.

 

I just got one from a junk yard and i feel like crap now cuz i paid 75 f***ing dollars for it. The oven DOES WORK GREAT, i tried it on the broken one i had and it worked awsome.

 

what the hell makes the lense crack??? so many ppl have said this...what do u mean by crack??, by pulling it apart?..

i was thinkin of doin this, but too risky

 

Sprint it only takes you 30 minutes to do both?

 

The lens are very ***ile. It's softer than a typical cd jewel case. It's not easy. I don't know why people think it's easy.

 

yup
ask Synki, StillnMax or 97MaxGurl.. i did them in 30 mins while watching TV, talking and eating KFC

I was VERY skeptical about the oven method, since cooking car parts in the oven isn't a very smart idea. However 200 at 10 minutes did it just fine. I think we turned it up to 250 after 5 minutes, but I don't remember. All I know is that it was easier, and cheaper than renting a heat gun.

 

sprint max has serious skills. i already messed up two sets. so i bought altezzas.

 

i already got a quote from courtesy nissan for $52.50 for each thats w/o maxima .org discount. So before i buy it from them, maybe anyone will sell me their drivers side? I will pay!!!!!!!!!!
