How you like these Sidemarkers?
#7
From my experince..
I have installed sidemarkers on both my maximas. It would would be a b*tch to change the bulb. Look how it it is held in place..by a clip, which means it has to be access from the back. But Maxima fenders are enclosedin the area between the rear front tire and the front door, so how are you going to get your hand back there to get change the light or take out the sidemarker. Go to you local autoparts and take a look at a generic (APC brand) sidemarker and you'll understand how it works. The generic ones are much easier to change bulbs once they are in place and cheaper too.

Listen to this guy. Apc's will save you ~$30, and are ALOT easier to install.

I have amber bulbs in my sidemarkers. I wired them to only flash when I signal, they're not on at all any other time. I did this so it would be legal plus now they match up with the front and rear also with amber bulbs. Mine is similar to the one pictured, it also has a diamond cut look to it, but it's more generic and easier to change the bulbs. I'm surprise this one would fit. Mine has two wires coming out of the back. I spliced them into the front signal wires.

I have the clear sidemarkers same as above on my car (replacing the standard OEM orange lenses) and honestly guys, the bulbs are so easy to change it hurts. The hole in the fender is a keyed circle that the lense tabs click into. Removing them is as simple as pushing the lense forward half an inch and the whole unit pops out. Literally a 10 second job. I could even supply a template from the factory holes if needed for cutting purposes.
$45 isn't bad for something that looks 'correct' over 'generic'.
