Sorry to ask this on a maxima board, but there may be someone here that knows this.. Are the stock headlights, tail/trunklights of 98-99 I30s compatible with 96 I30? I've been thinking of changing over to the new style. Any response would be appreciated!

 

My friend has a 97 I30, he bought 99' tail lights and headlights and they fit on perfectly. Want Infiniti Parts at 25% off? Infiniti of Scottsdale will help you out...

Hey 96 VQ 30, I wanted to do that too to my car but those tail lights are so expensive! but they're so much nicer than our tail lights huh?

 

Yep, I like the newer style lights. I may try to pull some off a wrecked one, hehe. I was quoted $175 for the headlights of a 98 I30 yesterday. Actually, I was also thinking of getting the 17" wheels from the 2000+ I30t, and maybe the muffler, but the downward-pointing tips may look funny on my car.

 

Yeah, those stock 17's are pretty nice. If you don't like the downward pointed pipes then get the 2000 maxima muffler, it's the same muffler but the pipes point straight out.

 

whats the headlight differences on pre 98's?

 

Any of you guys with I30's swap mufflers with the 2nd Generation I30's (2K+)? Is the swap the same with 97-99 4th generation max's?

Differences on pre 98 headlights...

The headlights are not "jewel" type like the 98+ I30's.
The headlight lense on the 98+ is clear with no slits. The pre 98 headlights have slits on it to reduce glare.
