93-97 Altima. These lenses are available wherever crash-parts are sold. You guys better keep an eye on ol' Ned! He was over at my house the other day and I could see the gears turning in his head! Ned is a MODDING FOOL! He's got a bag of tricks thats getting very full. I can't reveal his next project, but if all goes well you will go !!!!

I hope all will go well as plan Scott. Watch out for him also, he's got some ideas in his sleeves, but I can't say them yet...just got see them when it's done.

Anyone else done this with the Nissan Altima Rear Euro Lenses?
I'd love to see some more pics... possibly a few in relation to the install. Was there any wiring necessary?

Finally attempted it.
Took a while to get behind the bumper and to get the molding tape to keep the lense flush but it seems to work just fine.

Why go to all the hassle? I hate to sound like a naysayer , but any light back there at all is godawful , I'd much ratehr spend that same amount of time working , save up a lil bit of money and hit the body shop to fill it in.

To each his own, I like working on my car myself. It wasn't just a mod it was a learning experience for me considering I've never done anything or knew anything about my previous cars. If I did have the money though I would have bought a body kit and not worry about it at all, but it was a fun little project, if you don't mind the hassle.

looks good. never noticed this tech thread (then again I never look in the tech section....). Thanks for telling me it was here STICK.

I still prefer a more flush mount light. Or no light at all - which I may end up removing my own clears from that spot and just filling it in.

All the same. Good job. Good find on the part. It's a little less involved than having to fit in the Accord lights that a few of us have.

I actually thought about doing the Accord marker conversion but I know you have already done it, so I just went with the Altima marker lens. I'm just workin' on my LED tails for now.

LED tails... now there's a route not many will be following you on (but wished they could ... you'll be getting begged for sets though). One of those "ONLY I GOT IT!" mods until someone starts selling them on eBay .. way to much tech. for most folks. *thubs up*

---BTW - I doubt I coulda been the 'first' on accord lights ... aint no one copying 'me' if they do it ... I already copied someone else (just don't know who yet) for them. - And I woulda used YOUR style had I noticed it before. Looked at 1000 different cars, never noticed that one. (damnit)

I got my clear side tails installed this week. I started to take
lots of photos, but got sidetracked by the fact that it either
started raining on me, or dropped to 35 degrees and I froze
my **** off!

I'll post a photo of the finished results after I was the box
either later today or tomorrow!
