Depends on what your ultimate plans are for fog lights and headlights...

But if all your doing is the bumper lights, then clear or crystal clear gets my vote.

For those that don't know, CG2 is Pebble Beige...

Anyone know where you can get those headlights?

I have spent the last hour and a half searching the net for those things.

The R34 headlights are currently discontinued (maybe temporary?). The quad projectors you see in them are custom.

Personally, I don't care. Unless you do blue. Then I will intentionally ram you off of the highway.

Yep. None of those resemble cop lights when they flicker through bushes.

Personally I'm glad. Blue is my favorite color as well, but I know the stress it causes at night when you see them in your rear-view mirror knowing good and well you were speeding. I hope everyone that installs blue lights of any kind gets a ticket. And I mean that with all my heart.

That being said I have blue LEDs inside my car that beat to the bass. BUT I have an on/off switch.

Are these a direct fit on the Maxima? It says I30 and Maxima in the title although they resemble the Cefiro (which I know wasn't a perfect fit for the Max).
Better yet, anyone have pics of those installed on a Maxima?

If you have a set of R34s, i think you should definitely go with the crystal clear. They match up so much better! But for the stock headlights, I feel like either way would work, but the lens on the clear ones match better with the stock healights.

Not direct fit.
Modification required.
