For what that guy wants in shipping (not to mention buying the lights), you can buy a BMW E36 setup and probably do less work to get them to fit. No thanks.

Dont't fall for it! I see that car every day and people in America try to say that it is a Japanese version of the Maxima.There are maximas and cefiros in Japan. this car has nothing to do with a maxima. it comes turbocharged stock with rwd. it is like trying to compare a gtr with a silvia (240 sx) Japan has our models, variants and more. you might as well use e36 headlights.

that is ridiculous...I've ordered two sets of S13 projectors before and EMS with tracking from Kyoto was only about ~$40. $130 is a rip!

I was thinking the same thing. But I've never shipped anything from Japan so I didn't want to open my mouth.

I don't think they'd weigh much more than the Skyline mirrors I got. Shipping from Japan via EMS was $34. Addae said it - that $130 is a straight rip-off!

Yup, it's looks like a Nissan Cefiro headlights allright. I've seen actual Nissan Cefiros, and they do NOT look anything like our Maximas. They might share the same chassis/platform, but exterior-wise, they look completely different. The Cefiro has much narrower front than our Maximas, which have rather blunt front end. I doubt these headlights will fit into Maximas any better/easier than headlights from any other cars, say a Mercedes headlights or a Camry headlights.

What are the parts that I need to create an exact pair like the one's in this auction and about how much will this mod cost me? So far I know the I need BMW e36, Audi projectors (dunno which ones), and Angel Eyes (Dunno where to get them). I tried searching for threads about anything similar to this but all I find is e36 conversion threads. I also tried looking for ngthing's member page or any page he has up and have not found anything as well that can lead me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Buy them already on ebay expect to pay between $250 and 600 for a good quality pair straight from Germany.

But if you want to go cheap, get the Audi A6 projectors, a pair of used e36's for $50 at the junkyard, and an angel eye kit on ebay for $75-125 or so...

SO looks like about $250 just to do it yourself, so buy them already done from Germany and you should be all set....someone on ebay usually sell top quality hella repro for $512 that i would buy.
