Does this actually work can these be substituted for the OEM headlights on the max? If not what are the mods? Im not a donating member yet so I cant search.

You'll need extensive fabrication in the front end to make those lights fit. Not worth the $$$. Maximas do not have many options when it comes to headlight housings.

Originally from the ebay article
These lights include all of the wiring and bulbs for your easy instalation. This set will plug directly into MAXIMA. But many people involed in shows put them in HONDAS. A few minor scrathes and marks. No breaks, cracks or chips.
Domestic market used parts direct from JAPAN.

umm they looks like they will fit well....you sure man? I know other guys put 2k2 lights in and stuff, but these look damn close to a direct replacement. looks like it will fit between the grille and the corner light? Are you saying it wont fit through experiance or through theory?

these lights on ebay aren't the same one turbo95max has. he has the one-piece corner/headlight. these look like they'll fit. but damn $80 for shipping

thats another auction that has similar lights (there's a few more if you do a search for "maxima headlight" on ebay. i wonder has anyone tried these before.

this is like the 3rd thread about Skyline lights, THEY ARE NOT A DIRECT FITMENT....obviously the lights are too angled compared to the maxima lights...

Take a look at the brackets. It looks like the grille will not fit on them without serious modification, and they don't seem to have the same mounting points to attach them to the car. Also, it looks like they are much more angled than our headlights. It would be a major project to make these fit, and even harder to make them look good on the car.

The eBay add says they will "plug directly into the Maxima". That may be true for the wiring, but it is not true for the physical fit.

Yes but MAJOR modifications would be something like bodywork....I say again if the housing makes a good fit between the grille and the corner light, all thats left is to make a custom mounting bracket. The lights do look somewhat too much angled tho. It looks like the lights would have to be mounted at a 45 degree angle if the maximas front end was flat. Maybe its meant to be that way, but the bean can be positioned forward. I dont think this is a major problem, but then again nobody has answered me whether or not they fit where our headlight space nicely. IMO thats the biggest worry. Got a pic of the R32 and the way their headlights are mounted isn't at all a bigger angle than our own. http://www.svd.asn.au/pics/members/martin/lons1.jpg
