im in the same boat. i tinted mine but they faded back to stock...lol...VHT nightshades ftw i guess
im leaning towards the 2012 tails because like you guys said they're stock and darker anyway. they look better on the lighter colors though imo |
Any1 have any idea how much the 2012 tails are?
|
deff go 2012 much classier look than tinted
but if u looking for a cheaper option VHT is the best way |
I guess I'm the minority because I like the pre 2012 tails better.

How much are the 2012's
|
Depends on the color of the car. Silver I like the red tails. White is the best for 2012 tails. That's why I got them. :-)

Any pics of the new lights on a black max?

Just a suggestion. I have applied Lamin-X film on a few of my vehicles with great results. Miht be a cheaper route for you. And you can choose the % tint you want to go with. I ussually go with just the tint because as you mentioned don't want to get hassled by the cops.
http://www.lamin-x.com/Nissan-Maxima-12-Tail-Light-Covers-p/n236.htm The other option is try E-Bay to buy the 2012 ones. |
I find it funny that the people who already have the 2012 tail's post that they have them but none are saying what it cost them to get them ? Either way it may be a little tough to find one "used" and buying them brand new is going to $$$$ unless you go aftermarket (that is if they make them)

No one asked how much they cost, I paid $207/ea for mine plus shipping.

If I paid for them I would have said how much they cost me. But I didn't.
Clearly there were some other posting, how much were they before and after your post. Anyway... moving on.. |
i didnt like them at first but the 2012's have definitely grown on me. when i get finished with a few other mods im gonna grab those. tryin to pace myself so i always have a project going on lol
|
Go with the 2012's...

I also like the 12's but I'll probably just hold off a bit....the prices should continue to drop, maybe see if the 2013's change. Which I doubt.

2012 tails fit perfectly in 2009 model?
I have an 09 and recently got rear ended and need to have the taillights replaced. I asked the body shop use the 12 tails and they said they would if they fit. He left a message saying they don't fit. I just want to confirm that they do line up perfectly with those that have done the swap.
|
as far as i know they are a direct replacement..maybe someone that has done the swap can chime in here...
|
I got the 12's on my 10. straight swap. Check my sig.
|
yeah they should fit. i got a quote for 120 to paint my tails with tinted clear so ima just go that route
|
Nothing new here, just playing around with some $10.00 film tints.
They surprised me in that they look pretty darn good, even up close. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ |

That's good to know.. I talked to the parts guy at Nissan in my area they didn't even know if 12 would fit 09.. I was ready to just get tint film.. Thanks for the post. Posted from Maxima.org App for Android |
