Underglow? A better comparison would be Altezza style taillights, they look super tacky on everything but the Altezza/IS. My least favorite thing about Lightnings would be the gay taillights. ---

This is the kind of shit I have to work with. Exterior mods - wheels, tint (if you like tint) and keep it clean. Take money and purchase HP tuners, learn to tune a bit. It’s quite rewarding. ---

LEDs and aftermarket headlights are fuckin’ rice, man. x2 on the HPT. If you can read simple histograms and line graphs, and know the values that need to be in those tables, then you’re set. By far the best investment I have made, performance wise, for my car. I’ve even used the scanner on others’ vehicles as well to tell them WTF their CEL is on for. And to flash it on and off obnoxiously while they’re staring at it because, well, you can do that with HPT if you please. :rofl ---

Honestly its your car. You make the payments, you have to be seen driving it… IDK why people care so much about what other people do to their cars aesthetic or performance wise. Leave an opinion and carry on. If you don’t like them you can always take them off and sell them. I just recommend never making the mistake of selling stock stuff. Even if you think you will never go back… What happens if you damage one and need a replacement, ect. ---

Didn’t read every post…but go legitimate retrofit or go home. Unless you already have a projector headlight from the factory. > [@Johawk"](#): > > Honestly its your car.

Even if you think you will never go back… What happens if you damage one and need a replacement, ect. +1. I had all my OEM stuff for the Maxima and I sold the car in stock form (except for suspension cause I couldn’t be bothered) for $3,800. I sold all my after market stuff (wheels, retrofit, LED tails, system/navi) for another $3k. Dealer would have given me $4,500 tops for all of it. ---
