opinions on 02 max taillights needed.

I have a black 02 max and was wondering which taillights you guys think look better on it the stock clear or the 00-01 smoked se taillights? Your opinions are appreciated.

Definately the 00-01 SE tails. I put them on my car and they look GREAT! (check it out on my cardomain site)

You should be able to find plenty of people that would trade their tails with you. If not in St. Louie, drive up to Chicago.

Definitely for dark colored Max's, the '00-'01 SE's are the way to go. In fact, you should send your lights to me and I'll send you mine. Your '02's would look much better on my white Max and my '00's would look much better on your Black Max.

i got mine from just a random OEM parts site online. they arent real OEM, cuz that was too much money, but they look just fine. just do a google search, i think they were $80 a piece.

Go with the Se tails, try looking through the classifieds, ebay, or dealers.

01 SE tail lights look the best on black maximas IMO... you could even probably find a pair through a junkyard

Switched mine with a local .Org member... he had a sterling mist 01 and wanted chrome tails... look around your regional forums... I'm sure someone will wanna do the switch...

Junkyards are also a good idea....

Theres a store in St. Louis where I live that sells car parts and they have 00-01 maxima se taillights brand new. I'm not sure if they are oem or oem replica but they are $50 each. The store is called Certifit and the number is (314) 993-2222 if any of you guys want these for your cars or they also have other body parts at real good deals.
