Those w/ Cefiros

What did you do to fit the corner lights? I trimmed the nubs on my stock harness but now it fits loosely. Went to infiniti to get an I30 socket, but its different.

Mine fits loosly as well. The socket stays in though. Maybe try and use some thin foam to make a gasket of sorts. I think the plastic in the corner light is just very thin.

This is a little OT, but thought I'd bring it up anyway.

If I get chrome Cefiros, can I "AE mod" them (heat 'em up, paint 'em black) like I could with any other Maxima headlight if I feel like a change? Or is there something that'll be stopping me from getting the lens off?

Yet again with the OT,

Another good idea is to just sand and polish the lenses of the stock headlights and corners and then ae. A cheap way to have nice looking cefiro knockoff's.

Just keep in mind the lenses are plastic and could warp. Be very careful.

cefiro's and smoked stock headlights are like night and day. Cefiro's are worth the install.

back on topic before you get another socket you can just go to a lowes or home depot and get a thin o ring and slide it on the socket it should be snug with that and only cost a few cents
