want dark tails for 2002

I love the power of my 2002 SE, but hate the tails. Where is the best place to buy some dark tails? Are the 2000-2001 dark tails a direct fit?

Thanks

Once upon a time, this was a useful website with helpful maxima enthusiasts

FYI: 1. I have no search function 2. There are no dark tails in the classified section and nothing going in group deals.

My questions specifically are 1. Will the 2000-2001 dark tails directly fit in my 2002 SE? 2. Where is a good place to buy them?

Any help appreciated

use that night shade spray paint stuff made specifically to darken headlights and tail lights. You can find it for less than 10$ on ebay

i looked for months for someone selling theirs or wanting to trade and didnt find anyone.

so i just broke down and bought some...finally found a cheap place http://www.atozautolights.com/
$107.70 shipped

then i ordered the wire harnesses from daveb ($43) since the light sockets from an 02 dont fit into the 00/01 tails. its as easy as, inplug old harness and plug in new one

What he said.

The '00/'01 are a direct fit to the body, but you will need to have the bulb socket wire harness from a '00/'01 to work. The bulb sockets are different between the 5th gen and 5.5 gen.

There are always a selection of the dark ones on eBay. Always! But none of them ever have the wire harnesses with them.

If you are swapping with someone who has a 00-01, then it is easy, see here:

Thanks for the help

Hey, thanks for all the help.

How do I find DaveB or someone else to get the light socket set for 01/02?

you don't need the harness...i don't have the harness and i have gle tails...the turnsignal socket is a little small...so i jambed it in there and all is good...if you really get woried...theres allways duct tape (cheaper then spending $43).

or you could prolly go to autozone and get a replacement plug and cut hte old one a solder the new one on .
