I just put them in yesterday. They look great in the day. Not sure about the night. The rear bulbs are clear, and the front are yellow. Not sure if I should put clear in the front or red in the rear, or just leave it alone. Does law say that the bulbs have to be a certain color? What did the rest of you guys do? If you did replace the bulbs can you get them at a Pep Boys or somewhere like that?

 

i put in the clear bulbs and got pulled over. then i put in amber (orange) in front and red in rears.

 

Yeap. Illigal to have clear bulbs. I've gotten pulled over. Orange front and red rears.

 

i recently installed the clear lenses as well. i have the hyper whites in the front (to match the hyper white bulbs in the running lights) and red bulbs in the rear. below is a pic, it looks perfectly acceptable to me.

 

got pulled over for the clear bulbs, with a warning though

i put the amber and red bulbs in the clear corners and no problems yet, i kinda like the way it looks at night better

 

I just went to Pep Boys and got red lights. Thanks for the feedback.

 

I used the colored red bulbs for a couple of days but it had too much of a pink look. I found some led bulbs on ebay that had 5 red leds. Perfectly red looking with after they were installed

 

greenguy where are you located in philly..i finally found an org member thats close to me...btw i have eurolite hyper white bulbs and i havent gotten pulled over yet...KOW

 

Philly in the house! I'm in the suburbs...Bucks County...

 

nice bucks county i know where that is..didnt live too far from there before i moved to GAY jersey.

 

I unfortunately work in NJ...

 

I can't believe alot of you guys are getting pulled over for your bulbs. If you get the autozone, pepboys specials then yeah i could see ay getting pulled over. Because those bubbs shine almost a aqua blue/green. A serious no-no But if you PIAA corner lights, Polarg hyperwhites(i have)), Nokya , etc...all these lights shine a silverish color/white. I have had the Polars in all 4 corners including my city lights and never have i gotten pulled over sine the 8 month i owned my Maxima.

One officer commented that he wish all cars had them , because they make your car very visible at night.

 

Sorry for the mispelled words, i was rushing, but fellas stop buying those cheapo lights and get you the real thing!

 

It's not the type of bulbs. It's the color the bulbs give out; white. Not worth to get pulled over IMO.

 

got pulled over with PIAA Hyperwhites, thanks anyhow, anything other then orange in the front and red in the back is illegal, doesnt matter on the brand of the bulb.

 

Amber/Yellow APC led's in the front and midnight moose's red led's in the rear.

 

Im in the burbs of Philly. Deleware county to be exact. I have some awesome pictures im going to post in a couple of days of my Max with the city skyline in the background.

 

I been running with the polarg in front and a 4 bulb LED red in the rear for about 2 months and no problems yet.

 

i dont believe i've ever been to deleware county before...but i'll definitely be looking out for your pictures..the philly skyline is awesome especially at dusk.

 

How hard is it to install those clear lenses???? do i have to take stuff apart...i have no idea...let me know thanks

 

what i did was use a flat headed phillips and a rag to wrap around it. then I just pryed them out very very gently and then replaced the bulbs (got these bulbs at www.superbrightleds.com. Here are pictures of what the car looks like in the day vs at night (its the same damn time of night, thank god for flash)

 

Man that sucks that all you guys keep getting pulled over! Here in Albuquerque lights arent an issue at all as long as you have em. Buy the way i run the polargs in all four corners and they look hot!

 

I spoke to a police officer here in Birmingham, Al and she told me that they don't pull over people with the clear corners. It just depends on the police department in your city to if you get pulled over or not.
Although I was told that they don't pull people over with the clear corners, I still have the amber in the front and red (from autozone) in the back because I like to travel.

 

Anyone got pics of their car with clear bumper lights with LED bulbs in them, amber front, red rear? Also if you do, what brand are your LED's and how many LED in each? Thanks

 

dude read my previous post, i got the 4 led bulbs from superbrightleds.com

After you pry the front ones out of the bumper, how do you get to the light bulb? Do you have to take the whole assembly our that is held by a rubber 0-ring or just the top piece? If it is just the top piece, how do you get it out?
I just spent 15 minutes trying to pry it out - no luck. I guess I am just afraid to break it....
Thanks!

 

Alright, lets use the rear passenger side markers for example. I just stuck the flat head screw driver into the left edge of the stock piece, and I slowly popped it out. Sometimes those pieces put up a good fight, but eventually you will pop them out. Just make sure you are not messing up the paint on the maxima. I messed up a little when I used too much strength but I fixed that with some good old detailing and waxing. When you pry out the piece,you will see a wire and a piece that looks turnable. Turn that piece and you will see the stock bulb. If you are going for the clear side marker/red or amber bulb look, all you have to do is the obvious which is to replace the stock bulb with the amber/red bulbs, and then twist that piece back into the CLEAR side marker. After that is just popping it back in. GOOD LUCK

 

My question is how do you know what bulbs to buy when you start replacing them on the car for instance in the manual for the sides it says t10 bulb number. But at superbrightleds.com they don't have these references they use 4 digit numbers. How do I know what to get for all stock replacements??

 

Ok oakes go to the website. Then click on LED bulbs abd products. Once you are there you will see on the 1st box "12 Volt LED CAR BULBS" then you click on more info. As you scroll down you will see "4 and 6 LED Wedge Base Bulbs" If you read further you will see that these bulbs are brighter than the inverted bulbs and they replace the 194 and 168 bulbs. OUR STOCK BULBS ARE 12Volts and THEY ARE 168 style BULBS. Thats how I figured them out.

These are the bulbs i purchased.

WLED-R4 Red LED bulb
12VDC Red 4-LED Wedge Base Bulb (194/168 type)
$ 1.59

AND

WLED-A4 Amber LED bulb
12VDC Amber 4-LED Wedge Base Bulb (194/168 type)
$ 1.59


GOOD LUCK. PM if you have more questions.

 

you can go to www.sylvania.com they have a section where you can choose your car, and they will list every part number for which ever lights you want to change. good luck again.

 

WTF!!! People are actually getting ticketed for this $hit!

Whats the safety hazard? Are they affraid people wont be able to distinguish the front from the back at night? Hmmm, What direction are the lights moving? Give me a break. Most cars dont even have ANY side markers!

Damn, I hope I dont get pulled over for mine, (I have the polargs, they look great with the HID) Ill end up in jail for throwing a temper tantrum (and a polarg bulb at the cop)

Did they tell any of you guys why it is a problem?

 

It strictly has to do with the SAE and DOT laws that say that the front has to be amber(and is really supposed to reflect amber as well) and the rear ones are supposed to be red(and reflect red). Which makes clear corner housings illegal as well. most police will not mess with you if you keep the light it self as amber and red.

 

I just think it sux because like I said, most cars dont even have side markers. So how can there be a law against it.
