skyline headlights 95-99 maxima

Question: Will a pair of JDM R32 Projector headlights(j-spec) fit on a 95-99 maxima?(with little or no modification)

I have a friend who can get a pair of these used headlights for a cheap price. The man who he is buying directly from japan from says that they will bolt on the maxima without modification. I want to believe the man but if this was the case I can't see why everyone doesn't have a pair? Either way I just want to know if it is worth the buy and will I be able to have a new set of headlights?

Not a direct bolt on. Some modfication is needed. NO body work though besides the bracet that hold th fender need to be shave off a bit. To get the corner light to fit flus.

How to I know. I got them =) but these lights need time and patient to do. I put the driver side on mine already but the corner light need some work to fit so i give up. Since i have no extra time and patient.
yup. Get them if you can get them around $200 get it. Is worth it !

What lights do they need to fit? They won't work off 9004 will they? And if I put all my time into it and money also what would you estimate time and money it would take?

9004 will not work. The headlight only work for H4. Time about 12 hours i said amd lots of planning and thinking mostly patients. hmm Money none. Except if you want a shop to do the job for you.

R32 headlight converstion is not hard at all, There is 2 thing you need to do

1) shave off everything on the back of your R32 headlights to make it fit properly on your car.

2) cut a bit off the bracket thats holding the fedner were your corner light bolt on to and your headlights. After cutting your corner light should fit fine.

I put on the driver side headlights and it fit just fine, expect the corner doesn't fit. And i don't plan to cut the fender bracket so yeah. Is pretty easy after you think about it. Compare to other Conversion.

Matthel... turbo95max has one piece cefiro lights that may actually require more cutting of the body itself to fit.
