How to install Clear SideMarkers

Hey I just ordered the new clear SideMarkers from Nissan . How do I install these? Is it a pain? Some directions would be really helpful.

I literally just installed mine about five minutes ago! Took probably less then a couple minutes on each side. They pop right off (starting from the side closest to the tire/fender wall) and all you do is plug in your clear ones and install them. Its the easiest thing Ive done to my G to date! Good luck and if you have any questions, let me know.

P.S. I love mine!

Pop the orange ones out, twist the light housing off the orange one, change the light bulb by just pulling on it (the OEM ones are white, you should have gotten orange bulbs with the new sidemarkers), and then just twist the housing back on and pop it back in.

The auction includes amber lights and sockets, it also comes in a genuine Nissan box. So you know it's the real deal
The eBay sellers name is:
infiniti_of_tacoma

Thank you Gary! My next mods will be a Nismo cold air intake and a full catback magnaflo exhaust. Then I'm going to try to trade my OEM 17s for someone's OEM 19s with a little cash. I will be done after that. Maybe a remote starter for winter

All sounds good with one exception, the Magnflow is a y-pipe back exhaust and isn't as nice as your OE system. They sponsored one of their systems for SLICK and I replaced it within 90 days with my HKS. You're better off with a HKS replica or save your $$ and buy one of Motordynes systems....they're the best!

Ok after some research. I figured Borla & Motordyne are the 2 best exhuast systems for our cars. Dose anyone know of really good reputable discount website that offer these exhaust systems at a reasonable price? Any help of info would e appreciated! Thank you!

Depends on what you want and your goals but those are not the two best systems not saying either are bad but Amuse, Nismo, Greddy, Stillen and Fast Intentions as well as several other companies all make great exhausts it is impossible to say who is the best depending on what you want sound, performance, weight reduction it matters if you are NA or Forced induction. You need to figure out what you want and look for people with similar goals to yours and get some feed back.

I had Stillen true dual 2.5" exhaust I loved it for NA and even when I went twin turbo but now I have grown out of it and need a dual 3". So it all depends on what you need so you dont end up buying two exhausts.

My goals are just to make my car a 2007 Nismo G35. I'm going for nismo cold air intake and nismo exhuast system. Already have the lisence plate frames, i hear those add alot of power! This winter remote start & next summer 19 OEM rays. Anyone know where to find the best deal on a nismo exhuast system and nismo cold air intake for our cars?

while were on the topic of side markers, so i dont make a new thread and eat up bandwidth, mine are wobbly, for a lack of a better term, as in i can move them with the slightest touch, the guy before my had a slight front end collision, do you think it is a missing clip/retainer that could be the culprit? or somthing else? sorry im new to the car, and havent had much time to crawl all around it and figure everything out yet.

Could be bc of the collision or could be crap side markers. Mine fit nice and snug. Also could be missing a clip, why don't u pop it out and look? Might be a good idea to do the "zip tie mod" so they don't fall out while your driving if they are that loose.
