Should they stay and I paint the car black or go back to the old style?

 

No cover lenses? Odd

 

definitely something different

not sure if I like it or not, it'd be better if the shape was closer to the maxima's front end
maybe you could fill in a little bit and make it flush with some bondo on the plastic and then paint it black

also, you should do something with those corners - they look out of place with those lights. awsm66 will tint them for you with professional quality paint (not standard spray can tint stuff).

 

Never saw those put on a bimmer. The corners need to be tinted. The gap also needs to be filled like Craig said.

 

on behalf of most of us at the org, THANK YOU! even though most will debate and pick at the idea, its good to see someone actually did it and then asked. i think if the whole car was white those lights would look dope!

 

Why dont you do some plastic work to make them fit the car perfectly THEN paint them the color of the car (instead of painting the car to match them). I really think they will look pretty good then. Kinda like the front of an older integra or something.

Good job on trying something new...when I saw those a while back on ebay I wasnt sure how they would look on a 3rd gen.

 

i likes...

 

nice. me likes. i am about a month away from getting those. ive been trying to decide between those and the ones with the black background.

 

A co-worker put something like that on his Corolla. And it looks ok on a black car. Maybe you should get it painted to match the car. Instead of painting the car to match it.

 

I'd keep em.
-You may wanna tint the coners and directionals.
-Chop the sides of the grill and cover it with mesh, the lights will sit better and won't push out the corners.

Do those have halo's?

 

Man, I would keep it like that, but like awsm said, do sum bondo work. I had a look at ure front shot & u can tell u should do the bondo work then paint them the same color as ure car! Still sweet though

 

Looks kinda funky to me, but I just got my e36 projectors today, they look sweet...but I'm waiting for the weekend to get over then I'm gonna start em lol, someone wish me luck

 

not bad, i looked at those at one time, then bought mine

 

nice lights..arent u thinking about the front lense being missing..wont they break because of water hitting them when their hot?once their flush,then they'll look even better.for now they must look hot at night...good mod

 

Well, Ive re-aligned the lights and they look a lot better. These were just test fit pics. I will get them or the car painted though. Yes, they have halo's and they use h1 bulbs. they have another version on Ebay which I thought I was buying, with projectors. But man they will set the car off when Im done!

 

nice man....good 2 see someone try sumthin different...im sure others will follow.

 

I like them, they would look good on my car with the black and all

 

I was just looking at these too on eBay before I read your post, but I was thinking it might look odd without the lens cover. Seeing it in your pic now, I think I'd still want a lens cover, if for no other reason than to give a more flush appearance with the corners/hood.

 

without the lense cover it reminds me of the acura integra head lights....but they obviously aren't built into the body

 

no wade covers no care







for trying something new though . Maybe take some shots from far away?

 

What are wade covers?

 

hmmm I bet they would look good with the covers. Most new headlights on cars are like that where the black plastic goes up to the lens. It would be a lot easier to seal them with that type of headlight too.

 

 

there you go....that looks sweet. Paint em body color cuz you dont want to give away that charcoal pearl that all the elite maximas have...lol

 

Looks way better from this angle for sure. I still think I might like to see it with covers. Good work tho!

Hey awsm66: (sorry, I know I'm harassing you all over the boards), but didn't you mention you bought clear 3rd gen covers? I had tried a search for them, but was coming up empty. Suggestions where to look?

 

i just used google when I was looking for mine.

google maxima clear covers or something like that.

Wade and GTS makes them. I like the Wades better but have GTS.

 

I'm real new to this board, but would anyone be willing to help me put E36 projectors on my 94 GXE?

 

Thanks aw. I was just waking up and a bit out of it at the time. I'll look again.


MaxKweef: Welcome! There's a write up of the install for these here:

Nice I like them. Hows the beam pattern?

 

check these out.. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/elchul...&.dnm=a2c8.jpg

 

The beam pattern is soooo easy to adjust on these because on the back of the lights there are 3 adjusting screws that move the light where you want it. Ive got H1 xenons in there and its lovely! The bulbs do steam up whenever I go to the automatic car wash though, but I usually wash it by hand.

 

hmmm...personally I would really just like to pay someone to do it for me, I know it's not always that easy, but I don't want to f*ck something up that I've never done before and have wasted money on the projectors. I would definately trust someone who's done it before way over myself. PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP!

Brad92SE has been good with helping me start to install mine, he's drawn a couple pictures of where to cut and wiring and other things like that...when I get done I plan to make a write-up for the projectors.

 

Body color would = teh h0tz0r.
