I have a 2011 Im currently thinking about either tinting the tail lights smoke them to like 50% not too dark or just getting the new 2012 taillights what do u guys think???

 

I was debating the same thing and decided to go with the 2012 lights for the simple reason that I didn't want to be hassled by the police. This way they are 100% legit and look good too.

 

im in the same boat. i tinted mine but they faded back to stock...lol...VHT nightshades ftw i guess

im leaning towards the 2012 tails because like you guys said they're stock and darker anyway. they look better on the lighter colors though imo

 

Any1 have any idea how much the 2012 tails are?

 

deff go 2012 much classier look than tinted


but if u looking for a cheaper option VHT is the best way

 

I guess I'm the minority because I like the pre 2012 tails better.

 

2012s are the way to go dude.

 

How much are the 2012's

 

Depends on the color of the car. Silver I like the red tails. White is the best for 2012 tails. That's why I got them. :-)

 

Any pics of the new lights on a black max?

 

Check out the post labelled door handles I have pictures I've my black one posted there.

 

Actually this is easier

 

Just a suggestion. I have applied Lamin-X film on a few of my vehicles with great results. Miht be a cheaper route for you. And you can choose the % tint you want to go with. I ussually go with just the tint because as you mentioned don't want to get hassled by the cops.

The other option is try E-Bay to buy the 2012 ones.

 

I find it funny that the people who already have the 2012 tail's post that they have them but none are saying what it cost them to get them ? Either way it may be a little tough to find one "used" and buying them brand new is going to $$$$ unless you go aftermarket (that is if they make them)

 

No one asked how much they cost, I paid $207/ea for mine plus shipping.

 

From Where u got them for 207/each?

 

It was a Nissan dealership out of Utah, Nissan parts direct I think it was called.

 

Thx

 

If I paid for them I would have said how much they cost me. But I didn't.

 

Available on E-Bay.

Humm...


Clearly there were some other posting, how much were they before and after your post. Anyway... moving on..

 

i didnt like them at first but the 2012's have definitely grown on me. when i get finished with a few other mods im gonna grab those. tryin to pace myself so i always have a project going on lol

 

Go with the 2012's...

 

I paid $195 a pop on Ebay. With shipping.

 

I like your roof spoiler looks good, pens fan I take it?

 

Thanks dude. Yeah you get a lot of **** being a Penguins fan here in NY.

 

I know how you feel I'm a flyers fan and I live in Canada lol.

 

I also like the 12's but I'll probably just hold off a bit....the prices should continue to drop, maybe see if the 2013's change. Which I doubt.

 

I have an 09 and recently got rear ended and need to have the taillights replaced. I asked the body shop use the 12 tails and they said they would if they fit. He left a message saying they don't fit. I just want to confirm that they do line up perfectly with those that have done the swap.

 

as far as i know they are a direct replacement..maybe someone that has done the swap can chime in here...

 

I got the 12's on my 10. straight swap. Check my sig.

 

yeah they should fit. i got a quote for 120 to paint my tails with tinted clear so ima just go that route

 

Nothing new here, just playing around with some $10.00 film tints.
They surprised me in that they look pretty darn good, even up close.

 

That's good to know.. I talked to the parts guy at Nissan in my area they didn't even know if 12 would fit 09.. I was ready to just get tint film.. Thanks for the post.
