CEFIROS SUCK (WHAT to do and not do)

okay my expectations of tehcefiros were waay too high..

even with a shield the light output is fugly... (WITH HID of course) the corner lgihts melted after running it for a whoel day (the glass palstic covering aorund the bulb that looks liek a torpedo) ... continuoisly for like 8hrs.. there like hanging now..... hmm.. well i guess im left wiht only one choice... open it up..

i got hte chrome one.. so imma darken teh edges.. take out that damm torpedo thing.. and projector these bad boys.. ****t man.. i was hoping not to do another projector project but this is my fate.... = ( dammit...

(anyone wanna let me borrow factor headlights and corners i30's)

I think you should start another thread and revise the title a bit more this time.

Sorry to hear about your mis-haps with Cefrios. I feel they dont look that great on a Maxima. There are a few exceptions such as keeping it all clear and on a dark color max.. . sick, with the AE mod on it, it just looks odd. . . I'm getting a bit off hand.

Projector away and good luck

i have OEM cefiros and the beam pattern is unbelievable, much better cut-off than other H4 headlamps.
