Wasn't sure where to post this but pretty sure i'll be corrected if in the wrong place lol....But steer me in the right direction plzz...should i paint and add angel eyes to my OEM Headlights or should i purchase the already black housing with angel eyes aftermarket options sold by JMautoracing? any opinions and or advice would appreciated thanks

 

get the ccfl from umnitza and put hen in yourself the aftermarkets look terrible

 

aftermarket headlights are garbage. the light output sucks and they look horrible.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh no luv for them aftermarkets huh lol.....thanks alot tho i was a lil suspect about them so i made sure i came to right place....feels good to know sum maxima heads lol....thanks again tho yall..

 

i got a 5.5 gen cjandura does tht ccfl wrk for mine i thought tht was more for the 4th gens?

 

Angel Eyes

 

The non-projector ebay angel eyes are modeled after your oem 5.5 lights. I've got a set of the non-projector ebay lights but to me it's far inferior to your stock lights in every way.

I think you'll be happy with getting a good set of rings and blacking the housing out. The pics cjandura posted above are king lol

 

OEM with some FX-R clear lense projector :-)

 

Wait until i get done with my ebay headlights, as of right now i just got done putting LED angel eyes on them and painted them black. I will post pictures this weekend when i get a chance to put them on, hopefully.

 

+1. Post picture please, curious mind inquiring.

 

Your OEM as is, no angel eyes, maybe black satin housing and a touch of matte silver somewhere but that's it.

 

oem
or
die

 

May look good on our 00-01's, but not so much on 5.5's I don't think.

 

i guess OEM by a mile sheeeeeeesh!!!! thanks for the ideas too family i will get to it soon after i get the materials needed...tht fx-r projector does sound interesting tho post a pic lemme see!!!!

 

thanks yo i had called about them and thy said those break too easy and the V2s are better to go with

 

\

Yeah, I want to see this....

 

oem

 

 

these right hurr, are official

 

Aren't angel eyes kind of played out now? I thought this was the craze back in the early 2000s

 

U can always go with a quad setup on the 5.5's

 

Oh... I thought it was on 02-03 OEM. Looks good though.

 

Coincidentally, the OP is driving an early 2000's sedan.

I think angle eyes are one of those visual mods that make a good first impression, but after giving it due consideration ends up looking tacky. Just like LED running lights. The 5.5 gen is not a BMW, nor is it an Audi. It's a 10 year old Nissan. I wouldn't do it to my old car, but then I don't like mods that don't look OEM.

So... that said, given the two options: mod your OEM headlights. They're better quality than aftermarket, anyway.

 

Fixed

Couldn't have said it better myself btw

 

^^^^sheeeeeeeeesh!!!jst rain on my parade huh lol.. both of yall thts ur opinion and thts fine but its just for the shows i mean reg oem headlight r fine whn ur not into modding im pretty sure after a while ill probably forget they r thr anyway but YOLO!!! so can a max dude live a lil sheeeeeesh!!!!

 

 

lmfao smh its funny u had to seperate tht frm the whole point of this thread now y would u do tht.. opinions and advice i was seeking and got from EVERYBODY ELSE lol was about the 2 optoins CUSTOMIZE MY OEM ORRRRRRRRRRRRR AFTERMARKET WITH ALL THE STUFF DONE ALREADY......i did say it was ok after the fact tho but dnt try to play me as if its not all written out clearly wht i needed so dnt pick and chose the part u wanna answer or comment on cuz then it just sounds irrelevant(left field wit it) #imjstsaying u did say oem after the fact so i do appreciate tht regardless..

 

hey platinum, here's my ebay headlights with custom led halos.. just some food for thought if you don't want to go the OEM route, i'll try to get some pictures of them mounted and in day light tomorrow so you can get an idea of how bright they are



day time pic

 

Perhaps, I've always hated that look on the 5.5 though. I know a member here tried it some years back, guess it suited him lol.

 

The eBay projectors aren't too bad if you install HIDs.

 

thanks man appreciate this
