NO, the Maximas will not fit.

You have to do it yourself.

Pull the lenses out in the direcitons given in the "HOW2" section of www.maximadriver.com.

Then, instead of a heat gun, use the oven baking at 250 degrees for exactly 11 minutes.

The lenses then come apart like butter just using your hands and oven mitts.

With the I30, however, there is only 1 screw on the back holding the lense together. Otherwise, it uses clips. You have to push the clips in with a small flat-head screwdriver (do this while the glue is hot, it's ALOT easier).

Then take it apart, use a dremel or exacto-knife to cut a piece of flourescent light cover to fit.

Here is a pic of what ebmorgan and I did on his I30 last weekend.
It was dark out, and I had to Photoshop the pic to make it brighter. The lenses match MUCH better in normal lighting.

But maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Just get Cefiro lights, they look way better. Before I had my Cefiro lights I tried to clear the stock corners on my I30, I gave up because it was so hard to open it up. Clearing the tails were much easier though.

They sure do, very nice.

A factory clear corner unit is available on overseas models (see profile) but they're probably even more expensive for you to source/ship and don't look half as good as the Cefiro lights anyway.

The 2k2 Samsung SM5 is another alternative for cool clears (headlights, fogs, bumper and tails).
