how big are the lenses on those projectors?, by that I mean the height of them(including the bezels). I was wondering because I am trying to see how I can fit my xenon projectors in my housing

finished product....








as for the dimensions for the projectors the ones i used were
3.5H X 5W X 6L
the lenses are 2-5/8

and for productivity i would have to wait for some more projectors to come in to my nearest yard, but right now i have 1 pair of the straight cut off line and can swap for the stepped if i need to, i also have a pair of 300zx projectors which if im not mistaken fits perfectly, but who knows what ill do with these



BTW is YAYOMAX's max a shiro edition??

It appears to be what it has black mirrors which probably were added after the fact. There should be a plate on the car that says it is.

How bout the back of the housing, how does it look after you finished everything? Only thing I wonder is if you can devise a way to aim the fog projector seperately. Need some car shots. I wondering how I can get these on my car without the blacked out look since my car with the all dark red scheme.

Plate???? where, what, who, why, when, how???? If so, I have no idea where to look. please point me in the right direction. Again, very nice projector setup. I'm getting real tempted. the local Do-it-yourself junkyard has a million 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen maximas. any idea how the 91-93 Diamante projectors work, besides the 300ZX, or J30?

Big E. I was wondering if after I do my xenon projector retrofit, you could possibly help me with some kind of fiberglass backing for my lights? (since I have no idea how to do fiberglass). I live near downtown L.A. I could drive there on a weekend or something. thanks

i was heading 110 on the 805 with an over due timingbelt


just a question. since your last engine crumbled, approx. how many miles overdue were you on that belt. I may be riding the same boat unless I come up with a game plan for mine.

yep man i got the connection at the primo yard up to years 2005 i once saw a SRT-4 didnt last too long tho, i get them (projectors) and tear them outa the housing and stash em and get em on 50 precent off days and call em fog lights whish are 11 dollars each and on 50 persent off days its 11 dollars a pair instead of 35 dollars a peice for headlamps, or if i dont think that i can stash em until then i take em apart hide the lenses and buy the brackets for like 40 cents but i deffinately get em from the junk yard i go and search like every week so ill be like the halogen projector connection, havent seen any xenons tho if i do thatl be the day, but if ne one needs newer car parts ill try to get em and send em but dont be expectin them all soon the longer you wait prolly the cheeper i c an get but gimme a few days after you tell me so i can go and see....

Not bad. What bulbs are you using again? Need some day shots as well as beam shots without other lighting around (want to see the beam pattern on the road). I bet your high beam issue might be a grounding issue...or using the wrong wire.

You should use 9006 for low's and 9005 for highs.

so i take it they dont make headlight covers for 2nd gens?

it might look better if you could mold or fit headlight covers around the whole light assembly. cuz your corner lights stick out like a sore thumb. maybe tint those corner lights. id prefer to leave the headlights on teh front stock, because i love the square look of the 2nd gen....i want one to make it VIP
