so, anyone know if 5th gen headlights, like the projectors they have on custommaxima.com will fit in a 4th gen max, or is it gonna require modding?

 

you mean the whole headlight or the projectors them selves?

if you mean the whole headlight then some custom work will be needed to make it fit into the 4th gen, it has been done before.

 

And if you mean the projector, it will also require modding. I don't think anybody has done a projector retrofit with max hids simply because there are better options...Projector's have been put in though.

 

i might try to just jam the whole asssembly in i guess, would probably be easier than a retro fit, thanks for the advise

 

what are you going to try and do..? you might want to look into this a little more before you spend the $200 or whatever they are. just a thought. But hey if you get it to work il prob be the first walking right behind you. lol good luck

 

wouldn't they market it as a 4th gen projector if it fit in both? their sales would double if that were the case....somethign to think about, no?

 

I think adding the projector portion would be easier (though like I said, there are better projector's to put in). If you try to "jam in" the headlights you're going to have a very large body shop bill. The fenders, hood, bumper and maybe the grill will all have to be cut and molded to fit then repainted.

 

Yea i wonder why no one has made projectors for the 4th gens yet, they should look in to it

 

The 4th and 5th gen area on the front facia which houses the headlamps are completely different. There was a previous thread which discussed this and actually had a pic of a custom 4th gen with 5th gen HID's...it looked horrible.

 

hmm, maybe HIDs just arent gonna be working out for me afterall, just htought they might be similla because they were being sold in the 1997 section of custommaxima.com, but i guess they just got confused or something. ohwell, thanks for the input everyone
