Buying new headlights what to get

I found these one piece headlights on ebay that come with the blinkers
I was wondering if anyone could tell me about them. I wanted to know if it was made of good quality and how people liked it in general.
Here they are on ebay

Thank you for your feedback

I think you have to do some modding to put these headlights on.

Those were the Cefiro's, I think these fit without a problem.

Like the headlights. Keep looking, there is a low end HID setup for just a little more.

IMO

Just stating the results that i have found. If you buy r34 style headlights, do yourself a favor and

1)change the bulb. Swap the 9006 to a 9005. The 9006 bulb is just crap IMO since it is so underpowered.
2) Upgrade wiring gauge, slap a diode in there, and also put in relays.

I went from 9004 to 9007 w/ the old lamps.
Then to these new lamps. Then i switched the 9006 to 9005

I am VERY happy w/my setup for now. It is nowhere near as crappy as 9007. That should say A LOT. Maybe i'll take some night shots some day...

C'mon now. We even have some vet's in this thread. If you want those lights to work properly, you need to do a retrofit. That means high intensity discharge lights. These fit with no modification. Light output sucks completely unless, again, HID. These have been discussed wayyyyyy too many times. Read!

it's been covered plenty of times. r34s are only good for retros, otherwise the light output is horrible.

Yeah, I saw the pics of the bean pattern on em... retro all the way. Any insight as to where they won't fit well on an i30?? I'm guessing the corners next to the "city lights"??

most be tough to search for information...how many times can this be covered? You want them? Get them. Can you do a retro? You'll probably need to know as soon as you install them so be prepared. No fitment problems with them now. Only one problem I heard of with fitment.

no cefiros are not that way to go. You can never change headlights again. You need to cut things to make them fit and then other lights won't fit. R34 and retro or new headlights off ebay with retro. Best options hand down. Now end this thread and make a choice.

Yeah ascetically the skyline headlights are great i love them. But the light output could be better. there should be a retrofit in the near future, so im not too worried.
