Always seem to be more pressing mods than changing my cornering lights... would rather make things sit lower or go faster. At some point when I ditch the old bumper I will have to part ways with the little guys, but until then let my right and left turns be slightly more illuminated!!!

Matador I guess that is how us Dallas 1jz guys do things. Lower, Faster, Wider. By the way "supra seats on the way"

Agreed. My fogs looked like crap so I just removed them, lol.

EDIT: I kept my cornering lights until I did the 2k conversion.
my 04 maxima has cornering lights I got covers to go over them to match with the black strip on the front I still like the concept of cornering lights. They're great when going around corners. It's like the turning headlights on our LS. Those get annoying after a little while

I drift and i think they're rad, i converted them to stay on with my normal lights. and when you're sideways it helps you see the road alot better at night.


we should call them "drift lights" from now on.


i think every drifter should rock them.

Wow.....apparently I'm a super n00b, because I have no idea what you all are talking about. I'm picturing lights that light up the sides like my grandma's Buick - seriously? That sucks. I'm probably going to get a '92ish SC, so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

doesnt suck at all. but if you dont like it personally, then just get a 95+

97+ have a really nice upgrade in the styling which do include fog lights.

Dont ask me why but changing out your bulbs to yellow (or orange) makes the light appear brighter. The stock cornering light bulbs are soo weak that putting yellow bulbs in actually makes your fog lights look better.

Lol, I get it. I was just busting your chops. My yellow IS fogs seemed to put out a much brighter light than my white SC fogs. Funny thing is I believe the JDM IS's (Altezza) have white fogs.

For the record coverting your cornering lights into fog lights is no faker then those fog light kits you buy at autozone.
Not all cars have cornering lights either

Personally, i like em but everyone has their own outlook on them.
