cefiro headlights on 4th gen

I've searched for a how to on the cefiro headlights on a 4th gen and there was nothing useful. The redlinemax link doesn't work and is there anyone who installed these headlights on a 4th gen and has a good write up with pics?

I just pass on the new headlights and went with new bulbs. If you're having that much trouble, I'd just go with OEM headlights. ddmtuning has good deals on HID kits that aren't that costly. Got mine with ballasts, brackets and bulbs for around 90$. Easy install too.

You are better off going with R34s and retro projectors into the housing, this will give you the best light output possible and the headlights are a much better fit than the Cefiros. Ask around and you will see my words to be true.

note how there is no black gap between the headlight and the corner,


on the jdm headlights they have that black "divider"

just follow that install instruction if you wanna give it a shot.

I recently ordered the r34 headlights, do you know what would be the hid conversion? since is two bulbs now with the one piece, and would the new conversion be any issue since the number is changing?
