Euro Clear Headlight Set?

http://www.procarparts.com/store-det...=onlinestoreDB

Has anyone purchased these? If so, how are they? Fitment, look and so on. Havent found any mention of them on the org, so just thought I'd ask.

It'd be cheaper buying Cefiro's.

I had them before I got my Cefiros, it's a perfect fit but don't listen to the part in the description that says it provides an upgraded beam pattern because thats a filthy lie. They look really good on dark maximas though.

But for an alternative, would they be alright? I got in an accident a while ago and the repair shop gave me 4.0 headlights and mis-match turnlamps and I just want a replacement. But if I dont do the labor to make the Cefiro lights fit myself, would it still be under like the 260 that those euro lights are?

Just a word of advise, I hear the blacked-out ones aren't OEM and have a bad beam pattern. I have the clear OEM ones and I love them.

Nah I have the black ones and it's true that they aren't OEM, but the beam pattern is just fine. Well mine is at least.
And I don't see why those lights wouldnt fit a 95, they fit my 96 perfectly when I had them.

cefiro's look goofy in perosn cause of the bad fit ment and how the stick out a bit......i would just get some OEM style light off ebay or some **** and slap those on there.....least it will fit for the most part correctly.

they dont look goofy. i just put some in this weekend.and they look AWESOME. it took a while cuz im a perfectionist and i tried to close the gap the best i could and spent way too much time on it, but i like that ****. i think its part of whats fun about moddin a car. plug and play is fine for most, but spending time and effort is way better imo.

if you want those lights you could just open up your old ones and spray them with some gloss paint for about $6. sure as hell beats nearly $300. and if you mess them up, then go for the gold and spring for the expensive ones. or you could try rubbing the chrome off like the 5th gen ae mod. takes a little time, but its worth it. i don't know if it works on 4th gen, but a lil soap, water and pressure and it come right off.

Where's a write up on how to install Cefiros on a Maxima? I didn't know they were that cheap on eBay. I would get the chrome ones and black them out.

there should be a new thread sticked with pictures of everything so that these posts wont need to be made. Pic of AE mod, DTM, stillin kits, engine bay pics, this headlights installed, projectors etc. so that way people can just go to the thread and be done.
