Ive always wanted to mod my 98 max, but I never had the cash to do it. This past semester, I was able to save up some considerable change. However, I sorta disregarded my max and descided to save up for something else (possibly a used Z). Anyways, my dreams came crashing down when I got into a wreck this past week. To make a long story short, I had to replace the controller arm, struts, and axle as well as the hood and get some body work on it. A G later, Im thinking my max needs some loving since I have to put my Z dreams on hold for a semester or two. Anyways, I got my hands on some one-piece Infinity I30 head lights (for the 97-99 i think), and I was told that they would fit in my max. I was wondering if anyone has tried this mod, and how did it turn out?

Beyond the headlights, I probably am going to do some basic mods just to spruce the max up a little bit. Clear out the tail lights, remove the maxima symbol in the back. I would do some performance mods, but this car will be going to my parents once I get a Z (or whatever else), so I really don't want to mess with the engine.

I feel so bad, I treated my max like crap really, and all shes done is be a reliable drive and beyond. Gotta make ammends...

 

the one piece headlights are usually from the cefiros (japan version of maxima/I30) Yes they will fit, but you will have a little gap on the sides next to the fenders, most people just use weather stripping to fill up the gap, and it looks great! how much did you get the headlights for?

 

around $280. I am not sure if I got ripped off or not, I was just so angry that I had to put down a G to fix it, i descided to get something nice(r). They are smoked 1-piece headlights.

i really dont know where to go from here. gonna have to save up for a new paint job definently, have a ghetto-fabulous matte black hood on there right now. dont know if I want to repaint the whole thing or just the hood and front bumper and blend it in with the fenders. the guy who fixed my suspension and did all the body work said he would do that for $500. that seems fairly reasonable, since i have seen his work and its really good.

The wreck was a real eye-opener

I plan on putting some time and money into this car to get it into top condition. Im creeping up on 120K, so its prolly time for me to start checking out the suspension. Ive been blessed with hardly any engine problems, which is a relief cause I prolly would have just given the car to my parents and bought a bike

 

yeap with proper maintnance these cars kick *** and arent a pain in the ***....

every day i see this stupid biatch with na i30 by my school that need to have the shocks and struts cahcnged .. cause the poor car looks like its going throuhg hell....

 

So...not JDM Cefiro lights but USDM I30 lights? Got pics?
As said above the install is the same as Cefiros.

 

here ya go

 

Its Infiniti, not Infinity...

LOL sorry its a common mistake.. I just had to point it out :x

Those lights look sexy :x

 

Where did you buy these? They are Cefiro lights...iirc.

 

I got these off of ebay. I had no idea they were that desirable, i just thought they looked cool

 

cefiro's are nauce

 

yea those are nice, what color is your max?

 

Silver at the moment.

one quick question, are H4 the same as 9007?

 

No. H4 are 9003 bulbs. You'll need to buy new harnesses and wire all of it up. Those are Cefiro lights by the way, paradox sells them, but those arent OEM lights.
