New Headlights are always enlightening! LOL Can you see at night much better?



I have new TYL headlights in the basement because they have little diffusion. I also have new FX-R projector kit, with Bulbs, Harnesses, Ballasts and Butyl tor a complete retrofit. I just despise having to cut out the back and use JB weld. The engineer in me looks at that like a complete hack job. LOL



Where did you get the Bumper Cover? How is the fit and how close to OEM? How easy was it to fit the Fogs in?



Thanks!

Thats great man! And yes i can see much better i love them.
And i actually get that a lot about the bumper. The bumper is from a different 98 maxima but its not a bumper cover. The bumper is just a different color since all other maximas were either brown or grey so the body shop guy juat went with a charcoal grey color and liked it haha.
Fog lights were installed before i crashed. Just pulled the bumper off by removing some bolts and easy to put on haha

Arent the 95-96 maxima headlights different? The 97-98 maximas have clear headlights and the 95 & 96 have kind of a hazy look

Maybe OEMs had a revision in 97 but not that im aware of. They are all interchangeable and will fit. There are OEM glass instead of plastic housings. The hazy look is probably just the regular yellowing of the plastic lense over time

The reason I ask is that my 1996 still has its original glass headlamps. Since they are glass, I have no need to maintain them. They are still clear.

They look very similar to the replacement ones which the op mentioned.

Perhaps the replacement ones have a better lighting pattern?

Those 2headlights could be identical with a different picture or a slightly tinted housing on the one. neither look OEM. So to answer your question 95-99 headlights are the same but can be different depending where you buy them from, and then of course there are the more rare glass versions out there
