Photoshoot!! Updated pics!
they arent underglows. they're jdm puddle lights and they are white in color. somehow they came out blue-ish in the pictures. they only turn on when the doors are opened or when the dome light button is pushed on the remote.
puddle lights? never heard of those before. yeh at first i thought you got some kinda led under glow lights and was thinking oh gosh what have this guy done lol but i see what you did there now...
im not forking out the money on projectors nor the time needed.
pull apart the driverside a-pillar and you should see a black loom running all the way up. open it up and you will see about 5-6 wires. the ones you want to tap are the red/black (power) and red/white (ground). if its different, just take your dome light off the roof and you will see the color wires you need to tap.
Oh and any pics of how you attached the puddle lights?
all this time i never knew the proper way of sayin gangstah 
i like where you're going again. seems like you switched focus for a minute there. now switch back to some dh or similar wheels, get rid of the wing and lip kit, and get some psssh psssh in your life.
but white puddle lights are > underglow.
im not sure if the wirings any different but it should be the same concept. i drilled holes into the sideskirts and mounted them. i shouldve taken off the sideskirt which would have made the install much easier. there are some DIY if you google search. thats where i found the writeup.
but the kit stays. the wing may or maynot down the road. i must figure out this pssh pssh situation. ive been looking at some River-Side MAE Dish for a while...no worries. the only time they're on is when the car is unlocked or the doors are open. no other times than that.
if you must... i think that kit (and every other maxima kit) works against what you're trying to achieve. to me it's a situation of "if you can't do it right don't do it at all". the mae's are a very popular wheel. i've personally never been a fan of that style although they have been growing on me.

lol at your quote. you can only take the maxima so far before you run off the cliff. it's still a 10+ year old fwd nissan. no matter how much you do, it's still that: an old nissan. its like that other quote: "Dude, it's a Maxima." now i come back to how modding this car wasnt the best idea in the world..... hahaha man i need a drink. man i just got all depressed thinking about this. wtf.
yeah yeah sure sure. these shoes are 99.9% going to stay anyways. im gonna need another set of federals up front. misalignment is pwning my drive tires.
. It is an amazing looking Max though. I'm pretty sure the paint job is stock, but still a black 4th gen. FTW! And it's not a bumper, but a lip kit. 
so you think a stock maxima slammed/tucking with 19s/20s will look better than one that is kitted? even a simple lip kit? i beg to differ. that's what makes it stand out from the rest. you look at all the other vip style cars out there. they either have a lip kit or a full bumper kit. i do have to say the way this particular lip kit is designed isnt the best choice but what other choice do i have? full bumper kits for the maximas look like ***. and i'd rather run this lip kit than run stock and slammed. it just wont look as good. im only taking this car as far as this. maybe a couple small things here and there. but in all honestly, i regret heavily modding this car. crap this is turning out to be a rant.

i don't hesitate to dump cash into the max. its a nice car for what it is (midsize fwd v6 entry level sedan) and age means nothing when you're really building something. the vin might say '98 but 95% of the car is '08. different story when you're just doing bolt ons i guess. that being said, if you desire more than what it can be (midsize fwd v6 entry level sedan) theres really no point in wasting the time/money. might as well save it for something else.
my q has satisfied my desire for a vip build, so my maxima build has changed a bit. i'm still gonna slam it and it's still gonna be baller but i don't feel the need to reach for vip status anymore. i think the build will be better for it.
The puddle lights are led, not neon. It is also a vip thing which goes along well w/ his vip styled car. He mentioned they only turn on when the dome lights are on, or when you open the doors, so it is not like he is driving with them on. I find them clean and well fitting for the theme of his car.
