I have majestic blue. Red in the back looks better, clear in the front to match the HID setup. BTW, DO NOT take out the rears, they are a PITA to get out without scratching or chipping the paint away, and the clears rattle a bunch. Just for info so no one else has to use paintscratch.com 2 weeks after they got a 2K2 like me!

Like Ive told many of you guys before, buy Amber and RED LED'S ! You will not be sorry. On the Glacier White Maxxs the all clear is the way to go, on all the other colors, it's a matter of taste ....

I have all clear on a black max, but no lights. The reason why is because I have side markers. That would be 3 lights on one side ( to many in my opinon) it looks good.

if you dont use them, you should paint the lenses black. that would look pretty nice i think.
do you not have bulbs in either of the stock side markers? or just the front?

stupid stupid me
well, i cant switch back to clears in the rear even if i wanted to.
both of my clear lenses had moisture in them. i heard putting them in the over at a relatively low heat would get the moisture out. so i put them in the oven and i guess my relatively low heat wasnt relatively low enough and the lights got just soft enough so that they bent on the oven rack because of their own weight.
so, i guess my decision was made for me. maybe ill look into getting another pair but who knows.

for me the answer is dependant on which angle i am looking at the car. it seems to me if both the clears (front+rear) are seen from the same angle like looking at the car from the side... it seems to be a little overkill and it looks weird. however, if youre standing at the side of the car and walk towards the back corner enough so the rear lens is in the foreground and the front lens is in the background then it looks REALLY sweet. this is the reason why i still have the clears on in the rear.
am i on crack or what.

although, i think we may have oppsite opinions. i like how the red/clears look from the angled shot but from a flat side view i think i like the all clears better. but like i said, since i ****ed up my rear clear lenses i dont have a choice anymore.

My answer depends on what color are your tails:
Mine are red throughout(2k,2k1,GXE,GLE) and you can see the red from the side of the car - hence red looks better on the rear sidemarker.
On the 2k2 clear tails I would go with clear rear sidemarkers
On the SE lights... your choice on the light car I think clear looks better on the dark ones red(or tint them black) looks better.

lots of people get moisture in their lenses. its nothing the place you bought it from can help. get the moisture out and then put some silicone sealent around the lense before you put it back on the car.

Well I got clear up front and red in the rear. In my opinion clear doesn't look good on certain color cars just like the 02 rear lights they just don't match all colors of the MAXIMA. I think white and silver look the best with clears but thats just my opinion.
