Get the ones that Stillen sells. They are more money, but definitely worth it. You'll see when you get them.

I have Euro-clears on my Max. I think they are much better looking than the diamond-cuts!

the regular ones go a little bit better with the 95/96 because the headlamp glass is a little foggy...not clear like the 97-99...so that's why diamond cuts are a lot better on the 97-99...to match the clear look...while the regulars would look fine on the 95/96 because of the sorta foggy glass

Get the diamond cuts if u must but honetly i think the maxima has too many lights up front, and too many things light up at night and when i see people who add a 2nd set of fogs........dont get me started. Im thinking of just making the bumper lenes work so they just work during the day or just removing them visually alltogether. srry if i kinda went ot.

I totally agree about the Maxima having too many things light up in the front at night! It's so hard and expensive to buy high-quality hyper-white bulbs for everything up front.

What I did was put in PIAA Xtreme Whites in the heads, clearance, and fogs. I had Xtreme Whites in the bumper too but I decided to take those out since they had no purpose. Now it looks a lot cleaner at night!

hey do they sell colored bulbs in replace of the stock fog lights?? cause i agree with you too about the extra fog lights, i'd rather just one set of fog lights, so do they sell them? and where if you can? thanx

I think it also depends on the look you're going after. I have a white 97, and i agree that the true clear chrome lenses are a bit too much, and the diamond cut would be a better flow in the bumper, but it you have a dark color the black clears would be sick, and if a tan/gray etc the chrome clears like I have would be awesome.

I can post some pics of the true euroclear on a white 97 maxi later if you want to see for yourself.
