I have recently purchased the red/clears from custom Max....

Does anyone know which bulb sockets to use for these lights???

I have a 1995 SE and have the 97 trunk lid and now I am trying to install the red/clear tails but the light sockets don't match up from the stock. I checked the 97-99 stocks and they appear different too. CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What the hell?? That's ****** odd. I bought my red/clears from custommaxima long long ago, and i didn't have any of those issues. They musta switched designs or something. Srry to hear about that...

 

Is it possible you have a 97-99 and my 95 stock ones don't fit????

 

If you're planning to do a 97-99 rear conversion, you'll need to get the wiring harness for the 97-99.

 

so the stock 97-99 wiring harness will fit the red/clears from Custom Max?????

 

If they're the same as the stock 97-99 tails then yes.

Start by looking in junkyards for the part, they're virtually unavailable on the org.

Just unplug your current harness and plug in the new harness and you'll be good to go.

 

95/96 and 97-99 wiring harness is the same. I would know. Maybe you are acting coo coo for a day. Just check, it should fit.

 

they are differnt i did it on my 4th gen. u have to get the tail light sockets from nissan/ junkyard. they are 52 bucks for both at the dealer

 

Are you talking about light harness or that plate that holds the bulbs? If your talking about the plate then yeah it's different. I just have mines dangling around in the housing. haha

 

Thanks Sickmax.....thats what I was looking to hear....

boob.........it is the plate we are talking about and I think Sixmax is right, I need to get the wiring harness from the 97-99 to match....

I just wanted to hear it from you guys with the experience before I spent much time or money on the subject......

Thanks..........

 

Wiring is exactly the same. I've done it to both my 96 and 95 Maxima. Only the plate is different due to different shape and what not.

 

I found everything at a local junk yard for $50.00

I'm going thursday to pick it up..........thanks for everything guys

 

The 95-96 taillights are different from the 97-99. For the 95-96, the bulbs are mounted on a plate, and the 97-99, the bulbs are free floating and twist into the back of the taillight.

So how are they the same?


From here on it's pretty self explanitory, but if you have any questions, PM me.

 

Conrad283.........Thats what I figured I would find once I got to the junk yard and saw the lights for my self.........thanks
