Euro Headlight

Does any have any experience with installing an one piece euro headlight on a 95 Nissan Maxima? Also known as a retro headlight. If so please let me know how you went about installing the new headlight.

Are you talking about the Cefiros, or the one piece R34's? Probably the prior, correct?

From your other thread you deleted...."I have installed some new retro-fit euro headlights on my 95 Nissan Maxima, and now I have a ridiculous headlight gap on each side that is about an inch wide. Does, anyone know what I can do before I fill it with weather stripping and seal it with clear silicone?"

Sounds like you bought the Cefiros. That gap is to be expected. Unfortunately, it sounds like you didn't do your research ahead of time.

I've purchased a set of the R34's and they seem to have a small gap. Is there an installation process in which you have to go through?

They're supposed to be plug n play with no gaps. It seems quality control has gone down the tubes as people in the last 6 months are reporting the same thing as you. The few pairs I have, bought 4 years ago, fit perfectly with no gaps.

It looks like you're going to have to get creative to see if you can make these fit better.

Yeah, that's what it seems like. I'm going to have to order a different weatherstrip to add onto the R34s. But thanks, man and your build on your 99 Maxima is sick.
