I really like em but something looks wierd about them.. I honestly wanna buy some but I dont know about the light bulb inlet.. It looks like theres now lil dome on top of where the tip of the bulb would be.. Would yall get emo or rather do the diy A.E. mod?

 

I'd rather do the AE mod myself. It's very easy and there's no reason to spend money on an extra set of lights.

 

blah? when did they come out with this one? they should have done the parkin lots too ! $?

 

Are those glass or plastic? I need a fresh pair of lamps for another retrofit...

 

Glass and your car would look much better with the crystals..

 

I purchased them, but havent installed them yet because my radiator support is bent. They look pretty good in the packaging. Check out my cardomain if yo uwant to see real pictures of them.

 

this has been covered before, just search.

 

dood welcome back! we are planning a meet here in the near future. you should come to it.

 

seems like the reflector would house some of the glare if you put in a standalone hid bulb w/o a retrofit? anyone care to share?

 

DAVE Sz :
Ive thought of diy but Im to scared to mess something up.. I would rather pay
for someone to do it for me..

gtr_rider :
Yeah I like the way they look on your car but I really always wanted to have
A.E.'s... Since u have could u tell me if the light bulb insert or socket (dont really know wat its called)
is closed ir if its a open circle like it looks in the picture? Thanks in advance..

white97gxe:
thanks for the pics...

Dubbya:
Thanks man, Im glad to be back... Im down to go just hit me up with the time
and place and let me see if I can make it..

 

y not just get cefiro?

 

AE mod isn't hard to do. Much more worth it. If you plan on buying the C.E. lights why not try the AE mod first. No point in buying them if you didn't screw them up first. I say do the AE mod, if you f up or don't like it then spend the money. Otherwise...not worth the extra $$

 

It going to be April 8th at the Tony Burger Center in South Austin. Time is yet to be determined, but go to the regional section and look for the "I popped my cherry" thread.

 

The little "dome" you are refering to is a glare shield. It prevents light from coming directly off of the source. Remember, since the filament is a wound cylinder, light emanates in all directions. The "dome" redirects the light going forward to the aft of the lamp, where it is reflected off of the housing.

 

dunno wth yu jus said but YeA!!

 

I hate to burst your bubble but.....











































They won't fit on your expedition

 

I have them for my car. Had them one for about 3 weeks, they fit great look great, light output is good, still working on them.

NEG- Light bulb housing blows, Broke on of my hid bulbs due to ****ting fitting.

Stock bulbs it came with, one of them blew out within 5 min of me having them on and seeing if they are aimed corrected.

Should come with all bolts. not just those inner ones.

Bulb lock nut sucks. Sorry OEM is way better.

 

The light bulb insert does have an open top which to me doesnt really glare, but I can see if you installed some HID's how that would become a problem. If you search for a thread started by Tom: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....&highlight=tom , he managed to use a Volvo Projector setup in his stock housing, and they looked awesome.

 

I dont know what happened to your set, but the bulbs that came with mine are really nice, and clear output. the bulb lock nut is identical to the OEM, ...

 

i just put them in my car..i love the way they look now all i have to do is get dimond side markers..

 

I have some of these also that Im currently retrofittng. They should be complete by the end of next week.

 

ive seen these b4 but i dont know much about them...what about Cefiro one piece are they n e good and it says something about a little modification is needed for them to fit the 4th gen max n e one got some feedback

 

Not with mine dude, The ****ty bulb blew on me within 5 min. The lock nut for the bulbs are not near oem. They look like an ABS ring. OEM has a smooth finish, better fittment. When I get my hid bulbs I will try again to install them without breaking them. Once they are in I will take pics. Nothing fancy about the bulbs it came with, Reg lights to me. Each to his own I guess.

 

Hmmmm, I've been very intrigued by these glass headlights, that won't scratch or cloud because they are glass. Do they mount and fit exactly as OEM ? And, can you put whatever bulb you want in them, or only a certain kind ? I may purchase these as mine are looking kind of crappy.

 

Dude they are oem stuff, why wouldn't they fit? why would it be diff when it comes to any 9004 bulbs?

 

They're not OEM these are made by CE. There's always fitment issues with alot of lighting stuff like this. It's a valid q.

 

which works better with HID's?? these headlights or stock?

 

they fit mint in my car i just bought my car alst month and it has 246000 so my headlights were a little foggy..i love them..they are nice and bright and i have the blue xenon bulbs and they are nice...

 

There are no fitment issuses at all. they are 100% identical to oem housing.

 

Ill let you know when the ***** sends me out my hid bulbs. These bulb housings sucks, it broke one of my hid bulbs. I did however try them with the 7k hid bulb in it. 100x better than OEM glass lights. The glare was way less. again i will take pics once I get my new bulbs.

 

I highly doubt that CE is actually making these. Im sure its some Co. overseas.

 

Damn I guess i cant get em... I really like how they look but Im sure with the open reflecter the HIDs are gonna be way too bright..

 

Why not just AE mod then? Looks the same and wont be effected by the open reflector.

 

No your right, CE isnt making these. They are on ebay for 120 shipped. CE has them for 200 i think? Same **** though. Yes made in over seas.

 

Dude my hid bulbs were shipped out today, I will let you know how they look when I get them. Trust me I just told you before, I had one functional hid, 7000k bulb with it on during the day time it didn't seem it would cause that much of a glare issuse. Its was more of a pure light, clean look without that oem glass hid look. Look at my sig you see how the hids look? Well picture that as a clean clear light and being able to see inside the headlight.

 

I have the original lenses in mine. They werent very bright until I bought some ultra white bulbs while I was in Germany. They seem to be pretty bright now, but I'm thinking of getting some new lenses.

 

where are DIY's for AE 95 96 headlights?

 

It's all the same. Heat them up pull them apart and paint.

I also dont understand why anyone is spending money on the lights (ebay or CE)!! Its so easy to do! Spending money on them is just not worth it! If you mess up the mod then buy them.

 

These lights are different then OEM, they have completely clear lenses.

 

Getting closer to having the retros complete, here is one of them,..


I originally had maxgtr2000 do some retros for me, I then purchased these headlights so Im transfering everything over.
