Default JDM Clear Corners

I need help, I ordered the JDM clear corners, the ones on the bottom of the front bumper, but I have no idea how to install them, of course the directions are in Japanese and that doesnt help too much, can anyone help a brother out?

Yup, here ya go bro. Scroll down on this link and you will find directions on removing the bumper. This isn't the actual installation of the JDM Sidemarkers but it tells you how to get the bumper off. Once you have the bumper off all you do is unscrew the amber sidemarkers and screw the new ones back in, its very simple. I used these directions but I took out more screws than I think it says in there. It's really easy once you just get under the car you can see all the screws and can kinda just figure out yourself. The screws by the fenders that you have to get through by the front tires can be kind of tricky though. I'd reccomend having someone do it with you just for maybe a flashlight or anything you need. http://www.ricks2k.com/info/instructions/350Z.pdf

I just did this... The bumper needs to be removed but the tires do not!!! Pull the car into the garage and turn the wheels all the way to the right and then the bolts become easier to get to... Then just turn the wheels all the way to the left and do the same thing!!!

Guys, I just tried to do this, but I think they changed the reflectors on the 06. They're not the same, and I found it really hard to take out the bumper. I think they may have changed the bumper a bit because of the revised headlights. I'm just going to paint them black.

Also I cannot find the screws where the fender meets the bumper, do I have to roll back the fender lining, there is not a single screw until the top part of the wheel base fender there and that is for the side front fender not the bumper? Im confused and have no clue how to get to these screws, also the six pop up things under hood and i suppose to forcefully pull the whole thing out

I was thinking about getting these but I did not realize that they were such a pain to install. Do you really have to take the whole front bumper off to change them out? If that is the case then I will just wait untill I get my turbo kit since I will have to remove the bumper for intercooler then anyway...

To my knowledge the JDM clear reflectors have not made it to the US for the 06's yet. The 03-05 ones will NOT fit the 06's.

Do what i did. I took my car to Nissan for an oil change and while the car was on the lift i just told the guy to change them for me. Then i just gave him a tip. It will save you all the trouble.

Thumbs up

I did it and kept everything on. The driver side was easy. The passanger one was harder, cause of the windshield washer tank. So, I raised my car a lil. Did it from the bottom. U have to take off sum of the screws from engine cover off. To loosen it up. Then you loosen the screw up. After you do that. It's a breeze. You can take them off with your hand once there loose enuff. Puttin it on is easier. So....good luck.

I have a '05 Ultra Yellow Enthusiast. I ordered the black reflectors for the front. I would like to get black one for the rear. Are there any black rear turn signals on the market ?? Or do I have to remove them and paint them myself?? Thnx

I thought they were going to be a real pain, but it wasnt all that bad. I didn't even take the wheels off. Just bent back the inner fender lining and slid my hand in there and did it by feel. Took me about 30 minutes or so.
