I'm curious...Do these Cefiro headlights actually fit well on the maxima? I have only seen one in real life and they didn't look to fit very well. There was a gap in between the head lights and the the front bumper. The corner lamp area just look bad. Anyone have any close up pictures on their car to prove me wrong?

Some people get lucky with a better fit depending on their own fabricating skills. I have seen some crap jobs here on the .org but there are some members of DNE that I have seen firsthand do a great job.

What kind of fabrication? I mean..those rubber seal around the gap area? or actually forming the fender to fit the line of the headlights?

I have these lights on my 96 and they make the car look evil as hell, but they are not made for a max there will be a gap! the only thing that you can do is get them to fit as well as you can, which will look god as is and then have a body shop fill the imperfections. ( That is what I'm working on right now) so good luck with the lights and the hood!
P.S. If you interested I know a place were you can get a color matched CF hood Red blue what ever I have seen them frist hand the look good but just my $.02

my friend James has these on his max. In person they look sick! BUT regardless of how much you play around with body where the heads fit into they will never fit like oem(unless you have $$$ and get them custom fit, not thrown in like everyone here has them) Cause when you look at them it almost looks like they stick out right where they bend in twords the fender. This is something that canot be fixed unless you do some serious body mod to make them more flush into the car.

just my .02!

...and no im not hating, just giving my opinion of how they fit and look in person

Not fabrication as in body shaping. The rubber seal is a must for Cefiros. I was talking about some fitments that I had seen where the cefiros looked cockeyed or the corners stick out too far.

You would want to convert to h4. You can get a harness. 9004 are horrible and h4 is much better (why nissan put them in 5th gens and cefiros.)

Got mine from Paradox Systems. It's not that bad. 8 of 10. Alittle off when putting it on but with a little modifications it fits great.
