J30 Headlights on 95-99 Maxima

Will the 94 J30 Headlights fit on a 95-99 Maxima. They look very similiar and look like it would take very little modification to fit. Does anyone know anything about it?

WHy? They don't look all that great except the projector look alike thing they have going on cause of that glass shield. Also, how in the world did you come up with saying litle modification would be needed? They look smaller than the max's and the shape is also different.

I dont really see the point of all the time and/or money for those headlights to be installed. Much rather spend that money into something you will get some nice results from. just my .02

It would take lots of money and a good body shop to mold those headlights in. The money would be better spent on some Cefiros and custom projectors. Or just put projectors in the 97-99 9004 housing.

that would be pointless, waste, spend your money in a betterv way like what he^^ was saying about cefiros and hids or either or; and if you really want to do a headlight swap, look around and find something that looks half decient. thats my 2c

I seen that Max too, he is / was on the org. It really did look great. I believe he used A4 / S4 headlights w/ HIDs.

no they wont fit and they do look like scrap. Invest in some cefiros. Paradox is selling some and the mods to make them look nice is just some rubber arround the the corner part.

anyone think of retrofitting the bmw e32 1989-91 7-series dual projector angel eyes into a maxima headlight? i think that would be the $hit! they sell them on makotoautotrends.com for 206 for the pair. they look like they could go in the maxima case. anyone try it yet?
