Default Clear corners for 350Z NISMO

Hey guys,

I recently became the new proud owner of a PPW NISMO. I love the car but I need to get clear corner lights for the front bumper. The orange reflectors are too much of a distraction from such a stunning car.

My question is, are the front bumper reflectors the same size on a regular 350Z and a NISMO? Obviously, the bumpers are different but I wasn't sure if the lights may have stayed the same.

I found some sites that list the clear corners for a 350Z but I haven't seen anything NISMO specific.

Anyone have a link to high quality clear corner lights? Just not some cheap eBay one's or the one's from clearcorners.com that cost $400 .

Thanks.

They just have to be 06 and up.
05 and down will not fit your Nismo.
Here's how they look on my PPW...so you get an idea.

I ordered mine a couple weeks ago from thenismoshop and Ray told me at the time they were back ordered. I actually got a call today that they are in and are being shipped out. So far they have been pretty good with communications.

For the install, does the front bumper need to be removed? Or can I access these from the fender?

Just a heads up for those that are interested.......While having some warranty work done at Tacoma Nissan last week I spied a set of clear markers in stock for Nismo front end. Not sure what they cost but they have at least one set in stock in the display case.

To answer my own question, for anyone who might undertake this project in the future...

You can swap out the reflectors by getting access through the fender by removing/loosing the fender liner. The one on the passenger side is a ***** as your windshield washer fluid tank is there. I managed to get my hand inside the bumper from the bottom, and took off a couple screws that were holding the tank so that I could move it a bit and get to the screws holding the reflectors.

I've talked to a few other folks about these, and for some reason they are getting really hard to get/find?

i didn't have enough time to mess with it last night but i could not for the life of me get this to work, did you have the car lifted off the ground at all. i tried and tried and tried but i couldn't get the fender liners loose. i also started to take off the front bumper but the push-pins on the radiator bracket would not come loose either (and i didn't want to mess up the pins or the car by trying the pull them too hard). again i only had about 30 mins left of light so i didn't really have time to mess with it but still. some more thorough instructions on what screws you took loose and where would be helpful, thanks!

I'm waiting for mine to arrive along with some LED's I ordered. Don't waste your money paying someone to do such a simple mod. I have an advantage of working alongside aviation electrical and airframe technicians which are pretty much going to do everything for me, but there are 2 good DIY's on here that are easy to follow.

my friend finally got his clear corners installed ($30 labor charged) today while it was in the shop for an oil change and was supposed to get SS brake lines fitted and a brake flush with motul rb600 fluid but the tech said the brake lines didn't fit for some reason. the package was ordered from Z1 motorsports: http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=2109 and it says "03+ Nissan 350z & Infiniti G35" but doesn't say anything about brembos, think that's the difference?
