No, the tabs on the clear LED light are off as compared to the stock red LED. You must cut off the two center tabs from the clear LED and use the remaining two outside ones for mounting purposes. Not sure about the 4th gener spoilers, but the two outer ones don't line up either. As far as the 5th gener's, you must drill new mounting holes, or do what I did....check out my thread:

No wonder some modification must be done. They list no application for any Nissans. Which one did you buy that most closely matched up?

I bought it from here...http://www.electrodyne.cc/Merchant2/...de=555111CLEAR. Stock spoiler LED's are pretty much standard size for any car. It may differ an inch or two in length. It's just the mounting tabs you have to deal with. Since these clear LED's are aftermarket, you can guarantee that some modification is involved to make it work. In fact, I can remember seeing somewhere on the internet where they came in other colors, too, such as yellow and blue. Hmmmm.....

Cool. I may have to check into it myself. The clear LED's do look hot when you drive behind someone with them. Steeler Country, eh? Out in P-burgh area? I'm on the other end of the state. Used to hit Pittsburgh a lot when I was at WVU.

Yeah, if we ever make it to the Super Bowl again! But, no, anyway, I just do wish the clear LED was a much "clearer" lens like a "diamond cut" found on the Lexus SUV's and the Scions tC models. I think they look hot!
