My stock lights are very pitted and yellow and I'm looking to replace them soon. The headlight above follows the one-piece/Cefiro design and is sold by CustomMaxima.com (link: http://www.custommaxima.com/product/...s/Default.aspx) They are definitely sharp looking - does anyone have these installed on their car?

those are the "R34" headlights. There's a lot of info about them on the .org. Just search "R34 Headlights" in the search function. Fitment is pretty good but the stock light output is horrible unless you fit some projectors in there. Just do the search and you'll find everything you need

That's a nice set of lights.

No one makes R34s for an I30?

Get them cheaper off eBay. That output and beam pattern sucks though.

Back in the day, I would've never considered an aftermarket HID "kit", but due to the seemingly positive feedback from .ORG members, I've been considering this: http://forums.maxima.org/group-deals...g-members.html along with the headlights pictured above. My main worry is light scatter - unfortunately, I don't have the money or skills required for a projector retrofit job.

What do you think about the quality, particularly, the weatherstripping? Have you experienced any fogging of the lights? Any other thoughts on quality? Thanks!

i have them on my car...look in my garage..youll see them there, they acutually fit pretty darn good for aftermarket, i have no complaints, they look sharp and are direct plug n play...but i agree with the post above about ebay, you can get them with hid's also for fairly cheap.

These have been out for years

Many people are using them, but the only one's that work well are retrofitted
