they 2dr and 4dr versions should be the same

you could make the blinker piece fit, but it would take a lot of body work to fill up the gaps since that light is a lot smaller. Also,the curve wouldn't really match the fenders.

no offense, but were you expecting that the corners would just bolt right in and fit somehow even though they're a different shape?

im pretty sure both are the same. then again all you are going to use are just the headlight housings and not the BMW brackets. i think the 2dr and 4dr headlight brackets might be different but the housings should be the same. remember you will use your stock maxima headlight brackes and not the BMW headlight brackets for the conversion.

The difference is in the corner lights. Since you will not use the corner lights it doesnt matter which one you get.

all your cutting will be in the stock maxima brackets unless you are installing the Euro Spec E36 with projectors.

wade covers are for the headlight and corner lamps as a 1 piece not a a 2 piece. i painted the inside of my corners and yes you have to cut the covers to get the "real" clear corners. therealgoon used the whole cover to do his 1 piece headlight combo which came out real nice.
