heres a start
Civics dont really come with projectors, maybe the newer models like 05-08
Out of what year civic?

 

they didnt come on the civic it was a retrofit i was jus wondering if they would fit i tryed searching it but i didnt get an answer

 

well to be sure you would need to say what projectors they are.

projectors can be put in the oem housing tho.

 

Ok so what projector are they? do you know how to do a retro?

 

You can do retros into any housing.

But you need to find out what kind of projectors he used--they could be anything.

 

i hant tryed it yet but i got the basics i i think i can handle it

 

You need to know everything about the projector.

 

im trying to learn as fast as i can i thought thats wat the org was about im not a big car guy but ive done al the work on my max myself including struts springs altenator water pump and a couple other things im not a total dumby

 

That's great and everything, but if you don't tell us which projectors you're trying to retrofit, how can we possibly help you???

Chances are, someone here knows whether said projector will fit/work or not.

 

im not sure which ones they are cuse he hasnt givin them to me but there smaller then the ones ive seen here and on cardomain there small enough that i can fit 2 in the housing

 

check out the forums on hidplanet.com as well, tons of useful information on retrofits and hid headlights.

 

I'm not sure how clean your oem headlights are. If they are anything like mine they look ugly and yellowing. Which is why i bought that r34 style headlight for our car. I retro-fitted in acura tsx projectors into those headlights. I did the work by myself and i must say i get alot of compliments and i love the look of them.

As far as those projectors your friend has from that civic it might be cool and all but if they are any smaller than a acura tsx projector it might look funny in the big OEM headlight. But i'm no expert so do wat you want and be happy. Peace.

 

i was actualy looking at those tsx ones but these are free thats way i wa asking but i might end up doin the same r34s wit the tsx ones ive seen it on a 96 on cardomain it looks really good i would jus have to wait a bit while i gather my funds lol

 

If you have the 95-96 OEM headlights I would NOT reccommend retofitting projectors in those. The diffusers molded into the lenses would make the project a complete waste.

 

i would say go with the cefiro. How does the projectors on the civic look, do you have a photo>

 

My OEM headlights + TL Bi-Xenon Projectors with Clear Lense (made by Dasyce) =

 

Wait a good God damn minute here ..... !!!!!! They are from a Civic? Why on earth would you want to ruin your Maxima by putting "Ricer ****" on it? WTF is wrong with you mate? LOL

No really .... find out where the projectors came from to begin with (your mate got them from someplace - find out) and if they are Bi-Xenon or not (meaning ... do they have a solinoid that retracts to allow for Hi beams?)

 

^^ yes, if it is Bi-Xenon the retro-fit is slightly more complex and requires more cutting to fit the solenoid.

Here is an example (my projectors):

 

I would recomend BMW x5 projectors, they are bi-Xenon and you won't lose your high beam. I had my set up for Four years now and I loved them. Check out my home page.

 

Um x5 = e55 also used in maximas 2004-2006 and mecedes e class 2008 escalades they are all over man.

 

wow, is this the lets see who knows more game?

1) yes they can be done into oem housings
2) yes it matters what they are (size, output, bi-xenon, etc.)

not thhat you have your answers go do some research.

 

True on that note

 

So i take it you are bored already lol.
