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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
