You're getting no response because it was an extremely bad idea to produce those. No self-respecting Maxima owner would deface their car with those Stealin lights.

I agree with Epacy.... although, some other people have been asking about em... doubt anyone has taken the plunge and actually paid money to have em on their cars though...

looking at your sig i would say nothing. it takes half my screen and it clearly shows halos of purplish color, blue and aqua blinkers and parking lights, and an extra set of blue foglights.

i think i see a blue side blinker (fender) as well.

i am a proud member of the negative bandwagon.

leds are annoying. everytime i stop behind an infiniti i want to drive up into it as to get those burning lights out of my eyes. they are more annoying than when someone leaves their blinker on for 5 minutes while at a stoplight.

it's a fad that never quite caught on. it looks ok on the 4th gen (and perhaps on the 3rd) but with the shape of the 5th.. no way.

looks nasty to me, but whatever looks your boat, i like the all white one, with chrome trim that they got on the website, looks sick on grey/black cars.

just my .02's

i asked the same question a few weeks ago .. I like LEDs. They are much brighter but the Stelain ones just look like crap ... ( on their web site) If I ever have money that I dont know what to do with I'd but the all clear ones and run red LED replacement bulbs... It would have been cool with a stock red lense if the turn was clear instead of amber ...oh well ..

The stock lights look great imo... I would prefer the 01 SE tails but i'd say even the ones on the 02-03 look good when the light is illuminated... i think aftermarket headlights and tailights never come out right no matter what is done

Stelain? Do you mean Stillen? The Leds look stupid, I mean it's all red..They are wanna be altezzas or something..I'm happy with my 2k1 tails Either way they're not worth the price..Stillen is so expensive..

Wow i hope those LED lights look better in the dark, cause they are ugly in that picture, looks like somebody at Stillen never gave up his Lite-Bright set.
