I saw a 5th gen with Stillen LEDs today.

When they're on, and it's night time, they don't look so bad. But, when they're off and you're up close to them, they're vomit inducing. Unfortunately I couldn't get pics, since I was driving, but it was a 5.5 gen in Rego/Hills Queens with a billet grille and some other crap. If that housing wasn't clear, and it was SE black on the edges...it'd be the single best aesthetic mod for a Maxima.

Alas, Stillen eats c*ck and designed the single ugliest aesthetic mod for a Maxima.

I wonder if it would be possible to take their LED setup and put the OEM lenses over them. Any idea if that would be possible?

EDIT: woah - ew, I had no idea they stuck out like that.

I've been saying this since they first came out - why not tint or paint the circular part completely red? That would take care of the part you guys seem to dislike the most.

EDIT: Something like this:

EDIT AGAIN:

Here's a how-to that looks like it could be applied to any tail light:

I think those chrome things are not so much for looks but to protect it cuz i guess they drive in the city

Whatever they are ugly though...the lights dont look all that bad but

exactly what i was thinking. for good measure they could also try what Arnold suggested and tint the edges black like the SE..
