I got my OEM cefiro headlights today from paradox systems, the install was a little bit frustrating, but it was well worth the hours. The beam pattern is just awesome, has that nice flare, and also the beam pattern on the road is just uncomparable to the 9004 and 9007. below are some pics, i couldnt get a clear beam picture, the pics below arent the best quality because it was at night and i took pics from a camera phone...

 

nice... im still waiting on mines

 

where did you get them from? are they clear or smoked?

 

nice, and those are smoked Cefiros

u can get them at redlinemax.com

 

looks good

 

mine arent smoked, they are the clear OEM.

 

they look sweet bro. endulge us with some better pics. mine are on their way, but i did get smoked.
got some questions for cefiro vets

-so do they use the same corner bulbs? (1157)
-i know there is a 194 that is in the headlight area, do i have to put something in it? (meaning i don't really want to have to wire it the first day) whats the best place to wire it from?
-can the oem maxima headlights be reinstalled afterwards?
-i know they dont fit perfect, but everyone has their own story.......... so lets hear it
-how long did the install take you?
-anything else i should know..... .... ( and yes i realize they use h4s and that i have to cut the post)

sorry for all the questions, im just anxious to get em. anyone feel free to chime in on this. thanks

 

-yes, they use the same 1157 corner bulbs, but you'll need to use the stock corners lights bulb socket with the cefiros, since it wont fit, you need to shave the holes for the nub to make it fit
-the 194 bulb (city light) should come with the cefiros (mine came with both the 194, 1157, and H4 bulb), im not using it right now, but you can splice it into the corner light
-you can reinstall the oem maxima headlights, if you keep the corner bracket, i bent mine down, some people take it off completely
-it fits OK and left a small gap, but it looks 100 times better than the stock headlights, so it doesnt bother me much.
-install took about 5 hours because i had a touhg time cutting out pieces using a simple handsaw, my dremel broke, a dremel with a strong cutting cisc would cut down on the time
-keep it mind to save the screws and have the H4 wiring harness before the install

 

Looks good, the pics are just crappy though...

 

THe only OEM made Cefiros were chrome, so that has to be chrome.. Smoked were aftermarket made.. I really want to get the Chrome Cefiro's, but got to wait till around august, because my money is needed on other things

Question: is there alot of openings after you installed the cefiro's? I heard about the smoked ones having alot of gaps needed to be filled, But i was wondering is the same applied for the chrome?

 

explain this a little more for me- maybe some pics
thanks

maybe i'll understand more when my lights get here

 

cefiros look hot. No questions there. What about the fitment?

 

the cefiro comes with the socket and bulb for the corner light which is a 1157 which is the same as the stock 4th gens corners, but the connector on the 1157 socket on the cefiro doesnt match up with the 4th gens wiring, so you'll need to use the stock 4th gens corner light bulb socket, and since the cefiro and the 4th gens sockets look the same, the nubs in the socket are different, so you need to shave the hole slightly bigger on the cefiro headlamp to make the 4th gens socket fit.

 

thanks that really helps!

so are you going to post up some better pics?

 

new pics...

Holy Bat Cave, Batman! Are you going to fill that?

 

yes i will fill it in very soon..

 

not bad, one pieces head lights are sweet. what do you have in the grill? its hard to tell. mesh?

 

thats my stock 96 grill, i just painted the NISSAN hamburger black so it blends in with the grill.

 

damn, thats a big gap =x

 

Cefiros + projectors > all other headlight options for the 4th gen

Looks good and it'll look even nicer when you finish the job up.

 

"damn, thats a big gap =x"

true, maybe its time for him to learn a little body work? some 'mud' work will do, it did for me do you plan on putting something to clean the gap up? weather stripping of some sort?

 

How do you plan to fill that gap? Wow, that's huge! I knew Cefiros had gaps, but that is much more than I imagined. I think Cefiros are beautiful, I just wish they were made to fit a lot closer than they obviously do.

 

I recently installed the Blehmco ground wire kit & now my fog fuse blows. Got any ideas?

 

wow i neber realized the cefiros would have that big of a gap. i guess im gonna have to rework my fenders to make them fit nicer

 

Juan go for the 2k2 crown vic headlight conversion

 

The Cefiros look good man! But that gap...

 

yea i know, the gap is huge, but the plus sides of having the cefiro headlights outweigh the negatives.

 

i wish i could keep the 9004 bulbs in the cefiros cuz i have the HID kit and dont want to get rid of it

 

i plan to fill it in with some weatherstripping....once im done with my finals, i will finish it all up..

 

nah, i already have the hid's in the cefiros. just gotta install them. im waiting for a fuel rail for my 93 so i can get it back on the road and get this one appart. nothing TOO crazy for the 98

 

finally have a pic of the cut-off from the cefiros. will purchase H4 hi/lo HID kit very soon, probably in 5000K....pic taken in front of my friends house, somehow the light turned out different, im using regular sylvania H4 bulbs that came with the headlights.

 

it took me a while to fill in the gap nicely, mainly just take your time

 

I can't beleive you guys live with that poor fitment. Unacceptable. Just get the stock '97/'99 lights with the diamond clear cornering lights.

 

nice cefiros. i personally wouldnt get em. now check out my sig to see what lights u really need to get !

 

Your sig. shows which headlights he should get??????

 

I just ordered some cefiros. And I just found this pic, which shows them installed with hardly any gap. Maybe you did something wrong?

 

and this one shows the gappage

 

Doesn't look nearly as bad as the other car's gap. Maybe it's just not a good angle. Not sure.

 

how much of your body did you cut-away?
