Should I do the 2006 JDM tail lights?

or just do the normal 05/06 tail lights. I believe the only difference with the JDM tails is that the signals light up amber instread of red.

BTW, does anyone have a pic of the JDM tails installed on their sedan? I've done a search and found nothing except for a bunch of coupe pics with JDM tails.

99.9% of people will not even notice this so I think it's a waste of money. But if you're going to get 05-06 tails anyways might as well get 05-06 JDM.

I don't like the JDM ones as much as the USDM with all red. IMO all red looks cleaner.

Yeah, it's fairly expensive, but I'm more concerned about looks now than speed. Next up is painting the nasty gray sills.

I've never been a fan of the 03/04 tails and I think using the 05/06 tails with the 03/04 reverse lights looks really good. Here's the funny thing though, the Nissan 06 JDM tails are $50 cheaper than the OEM tails.

From what I can tell in pics, the JDM turn signals appear to be almost pinkish (like some Honda Accords) when they're not turned on. I know I've seen pics of the 06 JDM tails installed on a sedan, but I couldn't find any pics after a search. The 03/04 JDM tails actually have a bright amber lense. The 06 JDM tails don't seem to have an amber lense.

There are a few pictures around of 2004 JDM tails.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Dahkyne sent me some great pics which convinced me to order the JDM tails from Tony at Riverside ($304+ shipping).
