getting both to stay on with the parking lights.
Currently the side marker lights up but the front
lamp does not.

Also the headlight side lights look yellow compared
to my PIAA SW's...are there some superwhites bulbs
(I think they are 1157's bulbs) you can buy to make the 2 look equal .

Thx Tmeyers-Colorad-97 Maxima SE 5sp

About your side markers not "matching" your PIAAS. I had the same problem. I have Eurolite HID headlight bulbs, so I got Eurolite #1157,#194. To "match" my headlights for the front side and the bumper. I got mine from Ebay. Or you can get the Polarg bulbs.

How will rewiring help? If the coating is yellow then you must somehow remove the yellow coating. Rewiring would only make the yellow brighter by giving it more power. Like changing the bulb in a blue lens from 60W to 100W. It would only be brighter. Or what are you talking about rewiring as in more power or swapping the turn signal harness with the park light?

i have reiwred my corner

so that its contstant 27 w
i am thinkin bout take off hte lens and with some acetone carefully rub the inner side of the lens
to lighten some of the yellow coating
i believe nissan put the yellow coating so the light when signaled doesnt appeal to the eye of the oncomin traffic
