I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate and say it: I like the 7th gen tails better than the 7.5.

Call me crazy, but I think the 7th gen tails with a light tint on the red plastic look 100x's better than the 7.5's.

I think this is a better photo of how the lights really look (pro photo instead of camera phone) not as dark as the first pic.

I saw a 2012 Dark Slate Maxima "S" model with the Limited Edition package. I think it looked the best on that color IMO.

Looks sharp. I have a black Maxima and might do this. Is it an easy DIY swap?

They look good. If a 12 maxima comes thru my dealership I may have to swap the lights! I really do like the white max with the 12 lights and your setup is fresh!
