I have a 2012 AC and wanted to know if these would fit (they are labeled as 2008)

Of you have had experience with these, Iwould aappreciate any feedback on them.

Thanks!

Both of the those tail lamps should fit without issue. However, just a heads up, I've heard on numerous occasions that the aftermarket tail lamps are poor quality and often times leak, crack and/or experience condensation. On the other hand, the quality of these aftermarket parts, may have improved by now though. :confused: :biggrin:

I've had them on my '10 in the 'smoke' for about a year & half now, & am very happy with them with none of the problems mentioned. The color goes nice with my Ocean Grey(RAP) Coupe. The quality seems comparable with OEM. They're labeled for 08-09-10, but I believe they'll fit a '12. As with the stock, you'll probably have to install resistors if you plan to swap the incandescent blinker bulbs for LED, or put up with the hyper-flash. I don't even know if it's legal in my state of PA, but I replaced the amber bulbs(front & rear) with super-white LED's. It's a nice look with the Ocean Grey.

Simple! Take a few plastic fasteners out of the trunk lining & pull back. It's two small nuts (I think they're 8 or 10mm) on each side. Careful to ease out the assembly w/o breaking the retaining clips. Twist out the bulb sockets. Snaps back in even easier than it came out.

DAAN.

I had this exact kit on my Altima. No cracks or leaks, but I did have a whole section of LED's burn out on me. CarID replaced for free though so can't complain too much. Just make sure you get yellow indicator lights for the turn signals. Otherwise it doesn't look right.
