clear corner bulbs

What kind bulbs are for the clear corner? Im lookin for a white color all around, the stock bulbs in the rear look bad. If you guys know a reputable site that sells these bulbs that would be great.

thanks..

I personally think the contrast looks good, even though I like the look of the smoked corners as well. I have clears front and rear and I put Polarg bulbs in them for a pure white color. They are really bright and haven't faded at all. You can get them at customenterprise.com under lighting. They are like $7-8 a pair + shipping, so it's probably best to order a bunch for the whole car.

If you end up with the clear corners, get LED bulbs. Red LEDs match the tails much better. I bought mine on ebay over a year ago and got a good deal, and they've held up well.

PolarG or LED's all the way. The PolarG's might tend to burn out faster than regular bulbs, but the light output looks better and brighter. Had them in my 4th Gen (which was totalled when I was hit) and liked the look.

BTW, what's the best way to remove the rear corners on 5th gen Maximas??? I've tried the screwdriver method (wrapped in a towel), and all I proceeded to do was crack the edges of the corners - on both sides!!! I bought clear rears but I don't want to further damage my car!

Push the screw driver in more so get more of the lens.

I originally went with polarg which looked great. When one of bulbs burnt out because of moisture in the lens, I went with piaa led all around, corners and clearence. Look better than the polarg and definitely worth the money.

As for legality, I used to work at a city run facility and had the chance to ask a cop about them. He said that the cop would be a ***** to pull someone over just for them, and that the for the most part, wouldn't waste their time. I haven't had a problem in over 2 years of having them, so honestly, I wouldn't worry about it.
