i seen a 5th gen maxima tint their reverse lights to a light blue color did anyone do this to their 4th gens? and if so how did you do them? does it cost a lot? thanks

 

Dumb idea.

Blue lights are usually reserved for emergency vehicles.

And not only that, blue lights in the reverse lights just looks dumb.

Somebody must have done it to their 4th gen ... I bet it'll look super cool!

it probably wouldnt cost much until the cops pull you over

 

tinting their reverse lights shouldn't be illegal though i mean it's not like you drive with it on or use them for your turn signals i think it'll look pretty good

 

Virginia State Code for State Inspection
"All reverse lights as well as lisence plates lights must be white.

 

Even if they aren't illegal, think about this: You're in a dark driveway and you're trying to reverse out. You're looking back thru you tinted windows and the blue light your reverse lights are throwing out just don't make anything clear. You may wind up bumping into something and scratching your car's tail.

I've been trying to find reverse lights I could put in my 921 socket that are a much brighter and whiter than stock. Haven't found any though. They all seem to be the same 18 watts.

I was on that same mission for a while and came up with nothing usefull. If you find one that is brighter let us know. More people might be intrested as well.

i didn't say a dark blue tint, it's sort of like a light blue tint and i doubt reversing will dim the lights. is it illegal in NYC anyone?? thanks

 

Ummm... I have blue reverse lights on my car, and it dosent look DUMB. It actually looks pretty cool, and its really cheap too. All I did was buy condom lights they only cost $1.00 its a little condom looking thing that you put over the bulb. (look neon blue) hope that helped.

 

If you want a blueish tint, try the PIAA extreme white 921 bulbs. Same 18 watts, but the color is more a blueish white. Not any brighter than stock, though. I have a pair if you want e'm. Make me an offer.

you guys have it all wrong i do not mean the bulbs being blue i mean the lens being tinted to a light blue doesn't that look nice on 4th gens?

 

Sudz- I thought someone put really bright lights in there reverse lights... hmmmm.. I'll try and look for you.

I remember seing the post, just do not know where it was.

Actually... I'll ask clee.. stay tuned

 

95-96 Maximas can do it. 98-99, and maybe 97s as well, have the sucky 921 bulb, 18 watts, for the reverse lights.

Actually, my reverse lights are blue. They were my corner lights for a couple years and looked great til I move to FL and the cops pulled me over and told me to change them. ( glad I just got down there and had the GA plates still on) So I just threw them in the reverse cause i was bored. They dont look bad, and there is still plenty of light. But I'll end up changing them back to clear anyway.

 

AHHH..

thanks I knew there was someone that had put 55W bulbs in, I think, they were saying how they could see accross the street.

again thanks for the info

 

I got 55 watts reversing lights...
This is on my 3:rd gen max. Stock is 21 watts in Sweden.
But any shop that sells carparts, has this lights, they also come with a beeper , that makes your car sound like a reversing truck..
But i got the ones without the beeping..It looks just like the lamp ju put inte the foglights, but with different bottom. It really lights up the hole driveway and a bit on the street when I´m pulling out from my house.

 

So does the picture that mzmtg has of you 3, but no one else is complaining.

 

My windows are tinted and I can't see a damn thing out the back. I can only imagine if my lights were dimmer...

 

Just put hid kit and you will all see klear and nice.
