so had some time today to change the look of the car a lil. getting tired of seeing all these other white maxima around like mines so this should make it stand out a lil more what you think.







this is with the lights on

 

pictures are too small hard to notice.

 

Better?

 

whatever floats your boat. looks bad imo

 

thats alright but isnt that illegal?

 

EDIT: you just ruined the nice pair of SE lights. personally you should have just left it alone.

 

It's different.

 

It would look better on black maxima but it doesnt look that bad at all ~

 

Those stock taillights are sooo sexy!!! Why would you do such a thing!

LOL, but, it's your car. If you like it, than that's all that matters.

BTW, is it a removable mod? I see similar ones all the time on ebay, kind of like a tint that goes over the light?

 

thanks i like it. something different. going to tint the windows, and get the black housing halo lights with HID up front. also so it will look better. and the red still shows thru with the lights. later on down the line i want to get the whole car painted a graphite grey but for now i going blk/white. i like the tinted look on the se tails.

 

its not removable. unless i get paint thiner to take it off but for now your right i like it. and to me it stands out. wait till the tint gets on the car and going to try and do a led setup in the lights. wait till its done only had it for 3 weeks now.

I did everything but the reverse light...would've left the turn signal but it was already tinted red.

 

and then another tastless mod...rather a downgrade...halo projectors....

 

ehhh idk not my cup o tea

 

don't want the projectors i want the non projectors. the projectors lights aren't a good enough projectors and i like the 02-03 headlights better. plus i already have the 9006 hid kit from my 98 that will fit those headlights. stock headlight are starting to look foggy and old

 

what kind of drop you have?

 

who i have no drop

 

oh ok. did you just buy that car or what?

 

Good stuff on trying to be different, but I love stock SE tails. If your going to keep them that way I suggest going with clear side-markers instead of those black ones. Please don't get Flea gay Halo headlights...

BTW HOLLY GAP BATMAN !! Get some wheel spacers for your rear rims.

 

HIDs in the Non projector headlights will give you even worse output then the projectors. I did the 02/03 retro for $200, took me about 2 months of searching but I did it.

 

So you planning to get the Ebay reflector headlights like these?



If you do prepare for bad HID glare. Stay with 5.5 headlights, unless your going to make the Ebay reflector lights into projector headlights.

 

yea just picked it up 3 weeks ago. already had the 92 with the tails tinted, and tinted my 98's tails, so doing the free to me mods first added my subs from the 98 in the trunk wired to the stock bose for now. and did this. getting the tint done, and getting head lights in the next few weeks. then once i get my new screen i will put my polk components speakers in the doors and going to build a sub floor box in the trunk ( got the car and had nothing in it no carpet, no spare, no floor.) then so on...................

 

Same here! Absolutely think they look awesome. I actually teared up a little when I saw the pics in this thread...lol j/k

I have the stock 03 SE titanium...but am looking for a set of the black/red/clear SE's.

 

You will find a lot of people willing to trade with you Clear tails for SE tails on the 5th gen classifieds. I think the clears look best on the Titanium Maxima.

 

now if i was to do that how much would it cost to do the projector headlights.

and if i get the 02-03 headlights do i have to find them with the HID

 

You can find TSX Projectors sometimes for $100+ on the FS section. You can get 02-03 headlights with ballast and bulbs for a really good deal. Even if they don't come with ballast and bulbs you can at least get a good deal in the group deal section in the FS section.

 

ok so if i got the tsx projectors i would need to get the ebay projectors or can i get the one with out the projector

 

They remind me of eyes when lights are off looks like eyelids closed when you turn your lights on it looks like eyes are open. Its not bad.

 

TSX projectors huh? might be my next project

And yeah the SE black tailights are ok how they are even though I pefer the Black/all clear look. Had to remove the casing and paint it black to get it to blend in with the rest of the car

This guy bought the cheapo ebay projector headlights, and replaced the projectors with good ones:

He used MDX projectors, but you could also use TSX projectors or FX35 projectors or E46 projectors, there's dozens of different kinds.

 

I doesn't look that bad. It's different which is what you were going for.

 

looks good IMO!

 

Its a nice mod. I did it in the summer too.

 

Yours look really good as well.

 

i like yours and the color as well
