Re: do it yourself clear corners?

You can order clear corners from various sites... www.custommaxima.com is where i got mine from. If you would like to make the clear corners have hyper whites you can also get that info on custommaxima.com. I believe the polar G hyper white size is M4...if you would like to get standard bulbs for the corners it would be size 194.

If you're looking to do the 'free' kind with your current side markers go here:

I don't like destroying original parts. The next owner might not like the clears and it will be more expensive to buy the Nissan ones than the clears.

I made mine to clear. They are just fine for awhile. Almost a year and a half later they look a little yellow, but I can deal with it. Most people like the clears anyway. I would suggest just making your factory side markers into clear ones and save some $$$.

Clear corners are like one of the few cheap mods we can get. Stop being cheap and go buy them
