95-99 DiamondCut Euro Headlights OEM Replacement (Clear Corners? 95-96)

I'm looking at getting these:




• Does anyone know if the output and/or beam pattern on these will be the same as stock housing on a 95 or what
I'm only doing this as a day time thing to look better. But I don't want to do it if the beam/output wont be as good as the stocks.

- I'm also in desperate search for crystal clear cornering lights/lens (whatever it is) I can't find them anywhere, I see them for 94 and older but not 95-96! Anyone know where I can grab some? For clarification, I didn't mean bumper turn sig lights, I meant the lights beside the headlight that go on when you turn to illuminate the road/whatever.
Thanks.

Light output will not get any better from swapping headlights...you need to read-up and do a projector retrofit if you want better output from bulbs.

And all 95-99 bumper lights are the same.

I know that I'm not really trying to make the light output/beam pattern better! I want it to be the same as the OEM Stock ones I don't want Quality compromised there, this is for daytime aesthetics.

And I know that I didn't mean bumper lights, I meant the lights beside the headlight that go on when you turn to illuminate the road/whatever. Cornering lights!

ps. Nice max you have there

I'm not sure where to find them, ebay is probably your best bet, but the lights you are looking for are called cornering lights.

I now have the one piece headlights but before that I had '97-'99 headlights with the diamond/clear corner lights. I do remember it being very hard to find the diamond corners. And this was 3+ years ago. I remember CE had them on their site but was out of them for a long time. I think I eventually got mine from redlinemax - now defunct. I also don't see them on custommaxima's current site. I checked e-bay for you too, and, like you said, there are only the non-diamond corners available. Sorry man. Good luck.

Thanks.

Yeah it certainly is difficult finding the clear cornering lights for 95-96. Many of the old resources people have linked to and suppliers for various parts don't exist anymore lots of 404's.

Anyway, so yeah Anyone know if those headlights will reduce beam/output - compared to stocks.

The clearance lights will fit 95-99 Maximas. Doesnt have to be just for 95-96's.
So with that said, you can get the type that 95arcticpearl linked which are the clearest corners out,


or just go with the 97-99 corners. Those are clearer then the 95-96 corners.

I really like those clear corners in the link that 95arcticpearl but I need chrome i think, i have a dark blue max. i think the chrome would look better than black? hmm. ive been looking for the same thing that 95arcticpearl has mentioned there but i cant seem to find them in chrome/crystal just his are the only ones ive seen around like that.

I didnt know the 97-99 corners would fit a 95-96?! in that case that makes things a lot easier for those. thanks!

95arcticpearl, was your light output/beam pattern affected at all, better or worse than the stocks? The headlight portion appears to be just about exactly the same as the option ones I've posted. Im willing to bet they are very alike.

Yeah, there you go. 95arctic found you some. But, as mentioned, those are the blacked out ones. Which I think would look good on your dark blue car. I have a white car so I wanted the all-chrome. Yes, please note that '95-'99 all fit the same headlights. And to answer the question you keep asking, the beam pattern will not lessen if you put '97/'99 clear headlights on your '95/'96.

The beam pattern/output comparison is just for the stock 95 headlights vs. the new headlights I mentioned or the ones 95arcticpearl mentioned (I'm guessing they are similar anyway) Not 97-99 headlights.
The talk about "97-99" was for the cornering lights. I wasn't aware that those fit on the 95-96 maximas.
