Hello there fellow Maxima owners,

I was just wandering if anyone has any of these tail lights on their 5th gen and if you have what do you think about them.

Thanks.

 

There's a few people on here that have them. IMO black SE tails look waaaay better.

 

not to but.....
not only are those tailights ugly, but more importantly, they are illegal

and before anyone brings up arguments, here are the answers to them

"but it has red bulbs"
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ , tails lights must REFLECT red

"but the lexus rs430 has clear tailights"
it also has red reflectors on the bumper

 

Thanks, but I am aware of them being for offroad use only. I am planning on some modifications to them if I get them.

 

look how the car look nice with 2k3 taillights.
I swap my 2k SE for 2k3 SE with an .org member,and i love them.

 

not really feelin those lights.... 2k-1 se tails are much better IMHO

 

I did not say i don't like 2k-1 se tails ,but i love those too...

I'm just showing him how stock tail looks better than that crap.

 

haha.. my statement wasn't directed towards u... heh...i was sayin i dont like the all clear tails

 

I'm the one that swapped with custommaximaSE. I think the 00-01 SE tails look much better on dark colored 02-03's than that garbage on Ebay.

 

Don't buy them. I bought a pair last year and I had to piece together tailight sockets to make them work. Plus the company I bought them from charged me twice and it was a pain in the *** to get a refund. I find the red bulbs turn pink real quick also.

 

buy a lexus if you want those or better yet,, a civic.. thay are soooougly...just buy the 2k2+ tails,,they look much better

 

chigga has those clear tails w/the black trim.

I agree the black se light look so much better. But I just hate chrome anything

 

Thanks guys!

 

BTW,thank you so much for the swap i love my car more now.

I don't have any problem with mine do you?

 

i tried to swap em out and wasn't able to. maybe cause t was still 60 degrees. i hear it should be done after the car has been baking in the sun??? any pointers

 

It's definately a lot easier to do it in the heat (or use a heat gun). But Johny (custommaximaSE) and I toughed it out and managed to do it when it was still pretty cool outside. You gotta wait forever for the weather to heat up in Chicago. We tore up our hands, but in the end it looked great.
No probs w/ mine at all Johny. I've gotten a lot of compliments! Now all those tough guys in their 4 bangers think that I've got the 3.0 when they pull up behind me. hehehe
