altezza's look sweet on integra's, and lightnings IMHO. They look boxy and fake on the maxima. looks just akward. Do it and it will override your car being sweet as it is, and will make it automaticaly riceboy in most eyes.

But its your car and your money so whatever floats your boat. Your red/clears look 100 times better to most people tho.

Who cares what people think. I'm going to admit that, I got the Altezzas too, haven't put it on yet. They look better in person, not bad at all. For me, I never care what people say, or if they like it or not. If I listen to them, I would have taken the SMX grill off by now because people kept saying it made my car look like a Pontiac and blah blah blah.

i got them as soon as they were availeable for my 95. i i've had several other maxima owners around here say tht they look sweet. more than that i really like them but i like chrome. if you do go ahead and get them, make sure that you get the blue bulbs for the reverse light and the blinker light. that looks REALLY nice.

No love , but I still got love for all of you guys, , No in reality I dont have no money to be spending on altezzas at the moment, my wife would have a fit, and ask why didnt I get some for her car. So I can't get them now. Cosmetics is the last thing on my mind anyways heck it took me 2 years to even change my bumper lenses. So no altezzas for now I am cool.

Personally I don't see how anyone could possibly pass up the look of the red/clears whether you have a 95-96 or 97-99 but especially 97-99. I'd never change the look I have on my 98 with the red/clears w/ hyperwhites.
I'm not knocking Altezzas, they look good one a number of cars, but not ours! Our tails are just too damn big and spread out to be clear plastic w/ tons of chrome.

I just copped the altezzas for my black GLE 99 max. These joints is hot, especially since i have the chrome emblem and chrome door handles and chrome trim on the doors (u know next to the windows) Hot to deaf, and then i put polarg hyperwhites in the 194 part of the altezzas.....let me tell you. It is a very clean look with the red and white!

as little as posible. the blue isn't really like a bright blue it is more whitish. it looks better than the orangish color that the regular "white" bulbs give off. basically, w/o the blues, the lights are the same colors as the corners on the front.

What color "should" be in the corner bulb (194)? I have mine on the way, shouldn't it be a color (orange or red) to be legal? Anyone put the right lights in the Altezza? If so, which one? Thanks

Cool, I thought it was an orange/amber. Do you by chance remember the bulb number? Is it something like 194A?

if you.....

buy a 2k2 Maxima you automaically get "Altezzas"

it is OE so Nissan understands the chrome,Altezza,cool look....



on my Altezzas I have a red #194 bulb in the the side marker light but I do not have the harness plugged in so it it just in there...it looks better when I cut on my park lights because I have -EUROLITE L.E.D.-Light Emiting Diodes(#1157-Brake/Rear Park Light Bulbs and they "glow" a deep red and all you see is four red circles "glowing" at night from the rear end looks like a Skyline"....many,many,many,many,
complimemts from this look at night from everyone....

Yeah I don't care what people think either. I have red/clears right now. They DO look good! I also bought Altezzas. I haven't put them on yet...I am hesitating right now cos I am not sure....I think I'll at least try them, if I don't like them I can always take them off!

I have the chrome ones on my 95 black max, and it looks damn hot. But since you have the option of buying clear/red tails, I would go with those. I wish somebody made those for 95-96 though....
