Since someone on the board keeps outbidding me on my previous idea to install Lexus GS400 fogs on my max, I decided to go another route.

I just bought some new fogs from Ebay (I plan to put the 3m film on it to prevent it from cracking)



I also bought a set of Bosch Mini H3 Projectors



To finish it off, Luminic Yellow JDM H3 Bulbs



I will keep you all posted on the progress of my retrofit as the parts start arriving.

 

where u get the mini h3 and price? EDIT nvm 45/ pair



why dont you link us to the ebay maxima fogs hahaha..


post pictures on how it fits in and details i wouldnt mind this

 

Haha, no more linking on future projects!!!

The listing was actually a "Buy it Now" so I wouldn't have the same problem as before. The Projectors were $59 after shipping.

I will try to do a write up as I do the retrofit. I will also black out the reflectors in the fogs to match my blacked out cefiro's. I have black bumper lenses on the way so my whole front lighting will be blacked out to match the car.

I wish someone was selling Smoked Red/Clear Tails. I'm am currently using Gen 2 Gunmetal altezzas, but I'm getting tired of them. Love the LED's though.

 

where did you find it?

 

What an azzhole. I wanted to see the GS400 fogs on a max, that's too bad.

Good luck on your install!

 

the picture somewhat says it all...

HIDplanet.com under halogens. when i wrote it i looked under HID and duh its halogen h3. but shippping is a set price with them.

 

IMO should have gone for IS300 fogs...

 

I was thinking about IS300 but I don't know of the fitment. I was going to try the GS400 because of the price. I'm not willing to spend $120+ on lights that I don't know is going to fit. I also have intercooler piping to think about so i decided to go with the retro instead. The GS400 fogs were going for less than $25 before I posted the link. I'm a jacka$$ for posting it. Worst case scenario, I could have taken out the yellow capsules.

 

Like these?

Thank,

I was looking for the listing but didn't see them for a while.

 

dude, just get the fogs, and get yellow rear window tint film and put that on the fogs

 

I prefer to do the retrofit. I like having something different from everyone else. I do not want yellow lenses, but a yellow beam. The yellow film will not match any of my smoked lights in the front. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

IS300 fit just fine

Only if I had the will power to finish the other side

 

^ you better post something up about that or die

 

someone actually starting bidding on those lights from here? Thats ridiculous. I like this plan of attack tho. Should look good. I was looking at those h3 projectors before on the hidplanet site. I'll wait till you're done and see how it turns out haha.

 

Projectors in the fog lights are overrated

 

Do you have any heat issues with the Projectors? Are you using halogen or HID?

 

Heat issues are the same as the stock H3 fog light reflectors. What I mean is, there's a crapload of heat. Everything I used in the retrofit has stood up to the heat, though, except the yellow film that was on the lenses, which melted/burned off the lenses.

I'm using halogen, btw.

 

Try to have something different bro. That is what having a "customized" car is all about. . .

 

Want to retro fit my headlights and fogs for my hids not really satisfied wit the scattered beam in my hids in my fogs and headlights

 

what are you asking?

 

just wondering does anyone kno how to take apart a 97 foglight? if so please pm thanks

 

3000k HID fogs FTW

 

im new to the whole maxima/cefiro thing.
but i have a 96 max
i work at a body shop and got a set of hid bulbs harness and ballast from a set of m45 headlights
does anyone know if i can use this hid setup in my max

 

i think packattack on nycmaximas.org did this. HE WASNT HAPPY WITH RESULTS.

The reason bein projectors in the clear glass headlight work great cause there is obstructions in the way. but on th foglight glass there is ridges that scattered the light.. but im very curious to see this happen.

 

packet did do that but said the light ouput didnt changed at all and wasnt even worth it in the end unless you can make a clear lense for it like the is300's have
