is there any aftermarket tail lights for a 1994-1996 Q that don't have the amber

[Evanarc]

Im looking for something different, to make the Q look a little less outdated from behind, What fits? I cant find anything for my year let alone the Q itself.Do they even make altezza's or anzo's for it?post back with suggestions

[Raxephon]

Make your own LED tails using the stock housings.

Personally I don't feel the '94 tails to be "outdated", hell I think they look better than the President tail lamps.

On a side note, the '94 reverse lamps are larger than the earlier G50 trunklids and the Nissan President trunklid I have sitting in my garage.

You can always get your tails tinted with spray or film. Just another option.

Please don't go too dark though.

The whole aftermarket custom tail light look is soo played out, it does nothing but cheapen the look of almost every single car it is applied to.

Actually, if you were old enough, you would remember that US market cars of foreign marques were the only ones to have all red tail lamps. Most aficionados would seek out the European tailights with the amber turn signals.

All a matter of perspective.

So how's the restoration coming?

[Evanarc]

guess i'm not an afficinado, but i just want a different look like at least clear turn signal lamps. something a little more uniqueWhere can i get these presidential lamps? if not how do I go about betting the lamps tinted?

Contact Lamin-X and tell them you need a 66" x 10" strip of tail light cover film. This will be enough to cover the tail lights and all four marker lights. You have to do all of the cutting yourself, but its well worth it. Here is a pic of my Maxima with the film. I got the darkest for the Maxima, but I am going to go with the lighter one for my Q.

I dont understand why anyone would want to tint their tail lamps and significantly reduce light output......good luck when you get rammed by a car from behind when that driver couldnt see you in the rain/fog/snowstorm.A lawsuit waiting to happen, and contributory negligence claim to shift resulting property/bodily injury responsibility to the clown who purposly reduced visibility of their lights.

Geez, this is the opposite of having rear fog lamps.....STUPID

Agreed.

You should just get a red file tint and cut out the shape of the turn signal and basically tint it red.I was planning that but since im keep amber signals im not.I was going to go white signals in front and red signals in back.Just another idea.

Yeah, I have the same problem. A lot of the President guilding seems to be trying to compensate for an inferiorty complex. Just oscillates between MB and Buick so it comes out whack.

That's truly awful unless you are trying to one up George Jetson's hooptie.

That Max is not too bad. The only thing I would change is the yellow film over the fogs. I would have tried a light blue like I've seen on some headlights.

For the Q, the only color film I would consider for the taillights is red. But I don't really have a problem with the way the car looks from the rear. The only mod that I have done back there was to remove the Q45 badge.

You saying you dig the space saver spare wheels?

The front end is a contrived.....well, disaster is the kindest word which I can recall.

The rear view, at best, can charitably be described as unfortunate.

But hey, if the owner is thrilled, more power to him.

[jltibbs]

>>>Evanarc<<<I really do not believe that anyone offers any after market solutions for the G50. Junction Produce would be the closest bet.

You saying you dig the space saver spare wheels?

Those are actually Altima wheels without the hub caps.

The front end is a contrived.....well, disaster is the kindest word which I can recall.

Retro fitted projectors in order to reduce the glare of adding HID's to a non HID housing. Stock bumper lights with tinted film, which was still quite visible even during the day. Stock fog lights with yellow film to limit the reflectiveness in inclement weather.

The rear view, at best, can charitably be described as unfortunate.

Why? Because there is tint on stock tail lights? Which once again was still quite visible even during the day.

But hey, if the owner is thrilled, more power to him.

I was thrilled. Well with the exception of the fact that the reason I had the steelies was because I had to sell the stock G35 wheels I had on because I needed some cash.

The pictures were offered up to give Evanarc some insight on a different option than stock, but not as intense as altezzas or euros.

No wonder your post count is so high. You comment on others post and pics versus offering genuine help or information.

It actually ended in a front end collision, not the aforementioned.

By the way, Brian, there's no need for yet another post about the Very Impaired Performance Forum or style. Just thought I would post that since I mentioned Junction Produce.

[jimbyjimb]

Sorry about the Maxima. It was a beautiful machine. Did it bite hard?

Here are some pics of my tail lights. They're tinted with film. You can order it from a number of different places. Just google "tint film" or "tail light overlay" or something to that effect and you should find lots of options.

As for the clear turn signal lamps, you can get chromed lamps that still light amber. In the clear/chrome housing, they won't be very noticable unless they're lit, but they'll still light normally.

It looks good. And light output is not THAT impaired. Where I live, there are very strict regulations on tail light visibility and light output. My tinted tails pass safety fine. When the lights are ON, they are near normal brightness. It's when they're OFF that the tint's darkness is desired.

Bro, I walked from that with only flash burns from the airbag. It performed perfect. That's why I said I would buy nothing other than Nissan/Infiniti from then on out. Hence the 240 (which got hit 2 months after I got it), then I got the Q, and now a B13 Sentra (for gas).

[Romeo5k]

I say get LED lights in the rear lamps.. they would look good. there is a walkthru with someon doing it on here. I wanna say Lesfoyan.. but I think I'm spelling that name wrong. they look good. I'm still trying to find someoen in my area who knows how to do it so I can pay em. I'm not doing it myself.. I'm to nervous for that. and as for ur fronts, get JDM.. that might cost u tho.

Looks like it took a trip thru the spray booth without a tape/block job!

[NightRiderQ45]

That pic is horrible!! All black end???

[thejapino]

Minister, is that the lightest tint they offered?
