Actually, they are different. 95-96 have glass lenses. That is why you never see them hazed over.



The 97-99 Have the clear plastic lens, which usually hazes over. Pretty much all aftermarket lights you buy for the max will be plastic.



Custom Enterprise was the only company that offered clear glass for the 95-99 maximas.



Of which I later used to make some BEAUTIFUL retros out of. I still have them if anyone's interested

Use either Brasso or Mother's Aluminum polish on the hazed plastic lenses.

130 plus shipping. Beyond that, you will need to find and purchase a 9004 HID conversion ballast. The reason for this is, that the light bulbs are HIDs. You could replace your bulb harnesses to accept H7's. Either way, it's up to you bro.
