4th Gens: Show off your Cefiro headlights!

I want to see some pics of those who have Cefiro headlights installed on their car. Opinions & comments are welcome also. What do you think about them? How's the beam pattern? How much of an upgrade is it from 9004 bulbs? I'm getting some soon and this information would help me out a bunch. Thanks.

pic 1

pic 2

yes, the pics are huge.. it happens

black cefiros on dark evergreen or whatever it is...

I like the beam pattern.. my bulbs are too blue though, and some crappy brand that I haven't changed yet.. but the lights are much better than stock.

Please point out where you see weatherstripping?
You must have superman vision because the ONLY way you'd be able to see the weather stripping is if he took a side picture and got pretty close to the car.
Here is a pic of mine this first one is impossible to see weather stripping in.

This second one I have circled the only place on either headlight where you ACTUALLY put weather stripping.

you're seeing things.. I didn't weatherstrip yet, that's what they look like before..

eventually i'll get off my lazy a$$ and put the stuff on, if you saw a shot straight on from the side you could tell.. but since that looks like garbage, why would I take a pic of it

That is black trim that comes with the headlights. Kind of like how your corner lights have black triming, at least I think they do.
This is the latest thing I've done.

Now I just need to get my mirror painted. Or maybe I'll use the paint I got from paintscratch.com and do it myself.

dang so i'm assuming most of you guys have the smoked version? The only person that put up chrome housings is Darrick and I think they all look good. Keep em coming guys. How hard is the install on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest)? Along the lines of difficulty, what mod install compares to this one? I'm getting mine shipped in on Wed. Can't Wait!

I like the clear ones better than the smoked ones but it is a preference thing I guess. Sporty vs luxury. Both are clean with the exception of the poor fitment on all of them (compared to stock). But some of you did a great job of minimizing the gaps so congrats! Someone get projectors in there and that will be the be all and end all of 4th gen max lighting!

Once Upon a time, I woke up and mysteriously noticed my Maxima was missing, it turned out to be my car got stolen, I had a panic attack, and almost lost it. I saw a E 500 Benz in my spot, and thought is this where i parked before? I was in my house about 2 in the afteroon, I just got back from the car wash, and got a wax job. I came out of my house at about 7:30 pm, I walked to my car, then suddenly, It wasn't there,
I felt very upset, and couldn't believe my car stolen!, I had a black 1997 Maxima SE 50k miles Black on Black heated leather seats. Altezza tails Gen 2 L.E.D style. I waited and my Maxima was never recovered. I don't understand why I had to be a victim, I spent so much money and effort into my car, and I was left with nothing at the end. It's not like it was my neighbors GS300 or his 05 300M, it had to be my maxima. I bought another one, but that's besides the point, it just shows how grimey some people have to get, and take your personal ****. I hope all the haters suck a big fat ****, and choke on it.

ONEEEE IM OUT!!!

Here are mine. The light projection is pretty crazy, but, that is because I installed Hella Micro DE projector fog lamps in the corners. Most pics on this thread stick out on the corners pretty bad. If you take your time and cut all the right pieces they fit great except for a small gap around the corner light (fill with weather stripping and its hardly noticable).

1hotmax: thanx <tear> that means alot comming form u! hehe

TJ: i cut quite a few pieces, my suggestion is just take the glove box out and take ps2 and slowly cut away pieces that interfere with the ps2 sitting properly
