this is nice... on a black max!

anyone have a picture on a black max anyways>

 

Uhh... heheh, sorry to let you down, but the cefiros wont fit 100%. You would still have a gap. Thats why i never got them.

 

Nice gap, I think theres a family if squirrels living in there.

 

kevlo, what were those duals you posted? they look like they are for a civic or accord?

 

Can somebody please post some more pics of Cefiro Headlights?

If I had the money, what I would really like to do is retrofit a pair of valeo's into the cefiro housing, along with some hella 90mm reflectors for high beams, or maybe even a bi-xenon projector plus the halogen high beam if it would fit. (keeping halogen hi beams is nice, flash to pass, can wire them up to your alarm.. etc.)

geos head light are the best, theres a headlight id pay for

 

reflective housing + hid's = blinding glare for everyone except you
plus they look sexy as hell .. i think they would be sweet if the clear clearance lights were purchased and painted the reflective part black, and removed the light housing to make the inside of it smooth.

now that would be a sexy headlight setup

(talking about any hid/project/bi-xenon setup in stock headlight housings that is)

 

projectors> cefiros for looks in my opinion. looks and function. Just my opinion. Soulrupture, BlueC, Mad-Max_SE, Geo1317, jcy98maxse, 007max all have the ultimate in lighting...at least funciton wise.

I heard that the H4 housing of the Cefiro headlight offers alot less glare with aftermarket H4 hid kits than compared to the stock US Maxima 9004 housing. But I believe that MOST all reflective housings that are not made for HID's offer too much glare and ALL are illegal on-road. Stick to using HID's for what they're designed for: Projectors.

I couldn't find a reasonable picture of the cefiro beam pattern. Sorry.

 

is this what you are talking about:

 

geo are those oem clear turn signal housings? If not, where do you get them from?

I opened them up and pinted the insides.

i think the cefiros are a nice change from stock. They're not too pricey and reasonably easy to install. Those other projectors look pretty cool, but hey, when are u guys gonna make enough for everyone? i didn't think so.

 

IMO, Geo's angel eye/projector setup is the best 4th gen headlights ive seen.

 

has anyone doen a write up on making projectors for 4th gen??? or do i have to give my left nut for 1?

 

Dpg yours are the s h i t too. Sorry I forgot about you. 1hotmax too

 

Geo, your ones look real good man!

 

No problem dude, you didn't let me down... I own a european spec maxima, wich is equal to the cefiro's bodywork... even the bumpers are the same

 

His are very similar to my setup. He's using the same E-type Shrouds, and it looks like he put in them in the same way as me (notice how they stick out farther). Anyone know if hes using the same E55 projectors?

Yea, imo, black housings go better with the projectors. It really cut down the glare from my headlights, plus I think it looks 10x better.

 

Whats with the body filler look? Is that what needs to be done when you get cefiro's? I was going to get them in the next week or so but now i think ill pass and just get some new oem headlights and clear corners instead.

Beam pattern on cefiros (ill try and take more pics tonight of beam pattern)


Sides("gap") ...*no hood problems

 

I think they look awesome, think I'll go and try to put projectors in cefiro casings when I have some money to spend again But first.... forced induction. I rather be fast then look good

 

here are mine:

 

there is no body filler. its wax i didnt have time to clean up.

 

Personally I think that the cefiros look better than projectors headlights. But projectors are more useful than cefiro headlights.



Both headlight set ups are PIA to install.

 

The headlights I posted were the first set of projectors ever made for a Maxima.

 

and how is the light output on the cefiros? I know their not as strong as bluec's but do the put out alot more light then out stockers?

 

The bulb is H4, it will prob be a little better than stock.

 

Just to clarify, the ones that Paradox has are from LHD cars, not RHD cars. We have OEM nissan ones (clear) and aftermarket smoked ones.

They're on sale .. Check out the sponsors section.

As for the gap, many people use black weather stripping to fill it in and its not too noticeable. It does require some work but its worth it.
For myself it was a cheap and practical way to change my headlights. I couldn't justify going the way of projectors.. Heaven forbid something should happen to them, I'd be outta luck.

 

Those are SO nice. I like how you put the silver bulb it the corners. Makes me want to run out and get some hid's. Too bad I'm a poor college kid. I guess I'll have to drool over yours.

 

i agree with that....if you mess up your projector headlight mod that you made or if someone backs into your or hits you head on, you are screwed.....the cefiros are easy to replace then having to remake your headlights again. i personally love the cefiro look....no offense but the projectors with a black housing on blue c. max looks just lil weird...the blue maxima with his in a chrome housing looks tons better because the projector blends in with the housing better. Yeah the custom work looks cool, but i would rather have replacement parts easy to get my hands on then having to get new oem ones, and open them up and buy the projector again and do the whole mod again, you guys say it takes a lot of time, well you would have to do it all over again. imho i wouldn't do the projectors cuz the cefiros are more accessible and look cleaner, sure there is a gap but just a slight filling job and thats it, as oppose to buying a whole other headlight and opening it up and fixing it. Cefiros are the easiest way to go to increase appearence, and the beam pattern will still look good, cuz compare them to the oem headlights and they are just as clear and h4 blubs are brighter then 9004 match up the cefiros with a h4 true hid kit and you got bright a$$ clean looking headlights.

thats a damn good idea, i have hids and "hyper white" corner lights and the hids make my corner lights look brown

 

okay so all this posting and i still didnt get the pic of a dark, pref BLACK max wit SMOKED cefiro headlights, not just cefiros, i wanna see smoked on a black/dark max....no one has this combo?

 

page 7 the guy named "Da Thriller" posted pics he has a dark maxima

really is there a write up on how to do projectors?

 

No I wouldnt be outta luck. Id be down $280 I spend on the projectors. With the cefiros, you are spending pretty much the SAME amount. You would lose that money aswell, since if you made a claim to insurance, they would only reimburse you for stock housings.

Trust me, I looked at every possibility of problems with projectors... Lets just say there was enough good things to make me not worry about the bad things.

About the H4 HID kit in the Cefiro housings, you're gonna have a sh!tload of glare and hotspots. Everytime I see a car with HIDs in a reflector housings (Escalades, Acura TLs, 2k2 Maximas, etc) it makes me cringe to see all the glare that is there.

 

well i don't care about the other drivers....but you still have to take apart your headlight to redo the headlight modification and how much does a brand new projector cost????? so you loose more money and time, cuz you have to take apart the new oem headlight and spend money on a factory benz or audi (whichever car company you go with) projector.
