Theoretically yes, but it depends on the manufacturer.

Drew113,

Is it a law that the bulb has to be amber ? I use clear to match up to the headlights since

the corners are so close to the headlights

I ordered my clear corners from a dealer in Cailifornia and they are made by JDM

and came with the amber bulbs. I asked for the flat ones like the stock amber color that

came with my 06 G35 but they told me they don't make them anymore in clear and the

ones i got is a new design that's been out for a few years and what they put on the

Skyline's. Both corners say JDM on the back with the part #.

technically yes its a law to have color emitting from the corner lights to be amber....stock amber sides have normal clear bulbs in them because its not needed to create that amber look but for the clear style side markers, they provide amber bulbs to make them legal

And yes the clear non-bump JDM sidemarkers are rather rare nowadays since they stopped making them and can cost up to 100 bucks used

Is it best to replace both endlinks on the front suspension at the same time?

Hey guys, random little question after moving my car today. Do y'all notice a small, unique smell coming from the car right after start up? It only lasts maybe 10-15 seconds. Idk how to describe it. Maybe like a gas/oily kind of smell. Just wondering if its normal or if it may lead to some problems. Thanks!

Yes a car runs rich when it first starts up.

I guess the no name brand ones on ebay dont count? I put mines in , used the amber bulbs. They actually fit good and all. Now the amber that has faded in my headlamp strip on the sides stands out a bit more.

Thanks JKL. I was a little worried.

No they don't count, unless they say Nissan on the back they aren't genuine parts, the problem people have with the ebay sidemarkers is condensation issues

JKL1031 09-18-2013 03:38 PM

aaawww ffffhhhhh

Drew113 09-18-2013 04:18 PM

haha yeah and you can tell the difference by just looking at them usually whether they are real or not...some people don't have problems with the ebay ones so you could get lucky

Drew113,

I purchased these corner markers at Orange Coast Infiniti thru their parts dept.

The box they came in is grey with white lettering saying Genuine Parts and Nissan all

over and over on the box.

The box also say's made in Japan

The box say's Set Lamp - S / T Qty 1

Part # B61F0-CM40A as well as the instructions written only in Japanese.

The back of the amber and clear markers both say Nissan as well and O.C. Infiniti told

me they were ordered and came from Japan and are Genuine Nissan parts.

O.C Infiniti showed them listed at $89.95 and sold them for $34.95.

Drew113 09-18-2013 04:47 PM

^yeah those are real ones....when did you buy them for $35?

Hey anyone that has an 05-07 G35 coupe automatic, does your gear shift indicator trim move a little bit back and fourth? Its always been a little loose and not 100% tight.

Mine moves slightly

So was under my car a while ago and noticed the rear brace (tunnel stay) was bent up on both sides. Almost like someone tired to put it on a lift from there. Will it hurt anything being bent up where it curves on both sides? Wasn't sure if it affected anything being bent.
