If I'm not mistaken I believe the Maxima used to have glow gauges, too, in the early to mid 90s models.

the wiring is relatively simple. the problem i had was triggering it to turn on with the headlamps. had a buddy from v&t performance help me install them after one set was sent faulty.

i suggest them as long as they are legal. i love mine to death!
