Do you have a spare set of '97-'99 taillights laying around??

Ok, well some of you may have read the other two threads reguarding the Samsung taillights posted by 02SR250. If you haven't, then here are the links to them:

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....5&pagenumber=1
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=117534

Well, I've been very interested in getting these taillights for my car. I've been talking to 02SR250 on AIM to see if they will fit. He contacted the Samsung Motor Company, but they didn't give him a clear answer.

So, we got to talking and he said that if he had a set of OEM Maxima taillights to compare the Samsung lights with, he could give us a definate answer.

Maybe we could start up a fund where people could donate for someone to mail a set of lights over to 02SR250 and he could compare them and let us know if they are the same. What do you guys think?

Later,
-Nick

why not try to do basic measurements of both lights first, to see if it would even be worth it?...and then if not, i'm sure someone can find a cracked pair or taillights sitting around somewhere

Is that both pieces, or just the outside? We'd need both pieces.

Ok. I just went out and took some measurements. Let's see if this get's us anywhere.

I'm working on a diagram in Paint. Give me a few minutes.

Here you go:

Sorry, the quality got kinda crappy because I switched it over from a Bitmap to Gif so it would load faster.

You still get the idea though.

OK, I sent the measurements to 02SR250 and he's going to measure the Samsung taillights. If they're close, we'll try to get a set to him and he can compare and see if they'll fit.
