I have a 2000SE and I really like the way the new tails look on the 2k2. I would be willing to take those off your hands if they are in your way!!!

Looks really good. But you need to lose the dealer plate frame.

Very nice. I love it! But why did you buy GLE lights and not just use your 2k2 tails?

Jinkees, looks super, Steve! If I could afford a 2k2, I would do something like that. I hate the ghey chrome look, especially when...oh wait...the only other "chrome" on the car consists of badges. WTH was nissan smoking....

Steve:

Is there anyway to clear out the orange reflector on the 2k2 with a clear reflector from a previous 5th gen gle or se?

emax did it but it was VERY HARD. he cracked one tailight and it took a long time. but when it was done it looks hot. maybe just take them apart and paint the amber red?? and i'm getting a red bulb i think for the bottom circle and leaving it clear, too late to make it red now.

Re: Re: Re: PAINTED 2k2 TAILS, PICS

Thanks for the links but you guys either misunderstood me or I did not express my question correctly , I see how you have the bigger circle all red but my question is: is there a way to make that orange reflector in the bigger circle clear so that it would be red and clear instead of red and orange?
