Uhhhh...yea.....that was just a joke. If someone copies these and mass-produces them, I'll just come up with something better and do that...

OK Tony, to resolve the situation with your G/F, follow these easy steps:

Find your old stock bulbs from your tail lights

Sell em for like 99 cents a piece

Take your G/F to McDonalds for a 99 cent burger or sundae and apologize that you will never be as dedicated to her as you are to your Maxima

Relationship fixed. Have a nice day.

P.S.
I vote you as next MOTM and MOTY.

I appreciate all the IM's and PM's you guys have been sending me asking for write ups and for me to make them for you but it just isn't happening.
Thanks for the compliments and feedback, but these tails will not be seen on other Maximas unless they are made by the owner. They won't be made by me.
