Can I make the corner lights blink along with the turn signal?
yeah
take out your corner light.
take apart the light harness,
take apart the socket,
solder an extra wire to the wire lead that does not have a wire coming out of it.
reessemble the light socket
splice the newly soldered wire to your turn signal.
re install corner light back to the car test signal.

Im def going to do this- offset will be sweet. but i got one question- this doesnt use both filaments from the 1157 bulb, does it? the write up sounds like it's the park light that flashes on and off. i hope this is the case

The person that blew his fuses wired them wrong, because when I 1st did on one side I blew them as well. I connected the extra wire to the wrong side.
ok i have another one instead of the side marker by the headlight what about getting the led turn signal mirrors to yur side marker and turn signal so that it can stay lit and then act as the turn signal would this be feasible and would the led's in the shell last long?
yeah the original turn signal bulbs are 56's, but the corners are 57's- i did the mod to make them brighter- its a sticky or how-to or something

If you want to make them alternate (like is common on most American, especially GM, cars):
Leave the positive wire going into the side marker alone. Cut the ground wire. Splice the ground wire (from the side marker light) into the positive wire for the turn signal (without cutting that wire). The two wires going to the side marker light should now be the original positive wire and one that splices into the turn signal positive wire.
Now, when your parking lights are off, both lights will blink together. When your lights are on and your turn signal is off, the side marker will be on like the original setting. When your lights are on and your turn signal is on, the will alternately blink.
Note: I have done this on the side marker light for a Mazda Protege, after looking at a wiring diagram for a 1995 Dodge Neon (whose side marker lights flash as described). It worked fine on the Protege. I have not tried it on a Maxima.
Making them brigher:
I haven't checked on the Maxima, but most cars use bulb #194 for side marker lights. You can replace those with W5W. They are exactly the same size and shape, they look identical but are brighter.

Thanks I will try that.
