Im new to this forum and I am wondering if anybody could direct me to an online store that sells headlight and foglight replacement lenses. Both my headlight and foglight lenses are pretty messy and are far from crystal clear . Also if there is a site that sells smoke rear tailight lenses that would be much appreciated as well. Thanks a lot!!!

I've seen a few threads in the 240 Gen Chat about this, you can either try looking voer there, search or maybe someone can link a thread as reference, but I haven't been in 240 Gen Chat in weeks.

There's some way of cleaning them, someone will appear shortly to direct you on how to do that.

Check with your local dealer and/or bodyshop, I bet they can get that stuff. You could also email a dealer and order them online, I'd think.

You'll have to fill in the boxes.

Yup... nissanwholesaleparts is where I picked up my fogs. Get the GXE "kit" as it is cheaper than purchasing the individual fogs. You can purchase '00-01 rear SE lights for the black-outs. The '03 Titanium rear lights have a more gray insert than the regular 2k2-2k3 lights. Not sure about true smoked lights, tho I'm sure they are out there.

Don't forget to post in the maxima forum

Well, two things you should know. First, if there are no cracks, then use this ... http://www.properautocare.com/plaslenclean.html ... if there are cracks and you need replacements, wait and see how this goes.... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=388760 (read the entire thread for info). one of my fogs is cracked, so im waiting to see what that guy can do with the Lexan.

My breaks are consistantly from road rocks. Primarily driving I-71 to Cinci on a weekly basis. Heat may cause it to crack, but rocks cause it to shatter. I'm on my 2nd set of fogs right now and the drivers side has a hole in it again.

If I run across a drivers side at a reasonable price, I will probably do some of my own modifications. I am considering taking some lexan that I have and cutting it to cover the lights, allowing a 1/4-1/2" gap between it and the lense. That should protect it from road debris....

Also, you could look in the Nissan Shopping Mall. There's a section in there for Parts and Equipment. Someone might have some that are new or not damaged.

If you don't want a complete "kit" to clean the headlight lenses, you can also use Maguiars PlastiX: http://www.meguiars.com/store_...e=meg

Your fogs are not supposed to be clear, but if they are not broken and you want to polish them, you can use AutoGlym (works to polish your windshield as well):http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ag-4325.html
