It's not the easiest thing to take the lights off. Requires the grill to come off and i believe 4 bolts holding in each light.

 

okay ill check that thanks alot

 

Hi, Speaking of headlights, are these worth it?

Thanks,

Mike

 

umm yea i ran in trouble because i couldnt get the plastic clear part of the headlight off. i didnt take the grill off though so maybe i will try that. if anyone else has done this let me know if you ran into any trouble with that. thank you

 

Yeah to take out the lights take off the grille. Undo the four bolts and the should pop out. Just heat them up in the oven and carefully pop off the plastic.

Those headlights are worth it if you want them.

 

Do you think they are as bright if not brighter than stock? thanks

Mike

 

thanks alot. yea i was trying to pop them off with a flat head but it wasnt happening easily and i didnt want to break anything. thank you for the help

 

Yes they should give a little better light since they should reflect more.

Nismo, did you heat them up before or just try to pop them off?

 

I wouldn't even try to heat them and take the lens off if it's your first time messing around with headlights you may get condensation in them when you put them back together. If you have the main headlights out just wet sand and buff them like that and if not just keep them in and mask off, that s what i did and they came great. good luck

 

Just get Meguire Plast-X at Autozone and in 5 minutes your headlights will look almost like new.
There is no need to remove them.

 

Yeah well if the dirt is inside there is a need to remove them.

Why shouldnt he take them apart? Should learn how to do it some time. It's not hard at all. And you just heat them back up and use a belt to push keep them together. I've taken them apart 4 times and have no condensation problems.

 

Ok if you get piaa white lights would be good to see the road better then stock ?

 

Don't do it, it will cause you to go blind!

 

Ok. Can you put on 95 96 glass headlights on a 97 Maxima ?

 

Wow....ok. Why would you put 95-96 glass on when you can just get 97 glass lights? Obviously PIAA bulbs will see better than stock bulbs. If you're going to get PIAA bulbs then you might as well do the 9007 upgrade and get major light output, or depending on where you get the bulbs (what price I mean) the PIAA might not be worth it. They are expensive and you could save more for a HID kit.

 

IIRC 97-99 have PLASTIC, not glass.

 

Im asking because i want to put a hid kit on it but i know that glass would be better then the plastic ones

 

Yes but I thought he could buy glass headlights for his 97? Am I mistaken?

 

No i was asking if you could put 95 96 glass lights on a 97

 

I know and I was saying that you can get glass headlights for your 97. The 95-96 lights wont fit your max.

 

go with plastic, weight reduction FTW!!!!!!!!!

 

Dont care that much about weight

 

Yeah it's what? 2 lbs extra with glass?

 

Plus hid's would look so much better with the glass headlights

 

Well they won't look much different. The output should be a little better but you probably wont notice looking at it, just actually driving.

 

Not if you got a 10000 hid kit

 

Where are you getting the kit from? Ebay?

 

i dont know but some guy i know in miami has that kit i asked him but he didnt want to tell me.

 

I found those lights on ebay. They are the only clear euro style I seem to be able to find for a 95 maxima. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I like the clear head light look though.
