-Very nice Matthel
-lol at the pic Luke

 

so how much are the 2 pieces headlight,i though you told me that it will not fit the max,what do you have to do to make it fit,like cut grill or something,or you can do the write up on the 1 and 2 pieces and those thing will sell like hot cake!

 

where do you buy the 1 piece headlight?? Can you fit HIDs in them too??

 

basically what he is saying stop biting my shiet and try something on your own.

 

haahha
yes and no, im willing to help people out and stuff. BUT, i dont think its right when people ask for writeups and demand all these answers basically lookin for the easy way. i work and think hard to do some innovative things. Thats what makes me feel that my Max is unique from others.

 

For the 2nd time ANY FENDER WORK NEEDED TO FIT THOSE FOCKERS IN??????

 

Dude... It won't fit the 300ZX
j/k...

Okay here are the answers for ya'll. I was at his "chop-shop" when the headlights were installed

To install them without fender works
<One piece Cefiro Headlights>
The corner light portion doesn't fit as well as fitting on the I30's of course, due to difference in Shape. But I am sure Matthel and other creative ppl can make them fit like a glove. I would say it's a much easier fix than fitting the Audi A4/A6 headlights or BMW headlights. Matthel and I had already discussed on how to fix the corner lights.. and we've got some good ideas.. I will just wait and see how he implements them.

<Two Piece Cefiro Headlights>
If you get the two piece headlight setting and use your stock Maxima corner then it would look like a closer fit. This would be a better fit then the 3rd gen fitting the BMW 3series headlights.

Conclusion:
This is an alternative for a better lighting (H-4 bulbs and housing for good beam pattern, plus built-in city lights).

Btw, there are Hi/Lo HID kits available for this application. I will check on pricing soon....

they dont fit perfect but they fit close.


we did a bit more work on monday and now they fit really good. the headlights are aimed better now. they used to point at the trees and make the people i tailgate mad...haha

 

from my measurements, the i30's lights are taller than the maximas, you might have to cram them to make them fit.

 

Now.. try fitting the CEFIRO GRILLES.. LOL..
j/k

 

how much taller??
we removed the weatherstrip from under the headlight and it fits perfect in that aspect.

 

when i measured it out, i think it was like 0.5-1.0 cm taller.

it was a long time ago. i was bored outside and i was comparing the height with my fingers, so i could be wrong.

 

i know man, thats whats it all about. sometimes i rather spend few extra hours doing something the "hard way" than to cheese off of someone else. common sense prevails though.

 

Okay.. I hope Matthel approves of posting of these photos

 

 

you always seem to understand me without me having to tell you....cool

hehe

 

On your homepage you had the two piece with HIDs. Are those HIDs stock too, came with the Cefiro assembly? or did you get an aftermarket kit and add it on?

 

where'd you get those pics Simon??? i dont rmemeber takin those...hummm

hehe anyways, we took the trim off under it so it it fits better and now the hood closes without having to slam it. also, the parts that ALex was cutting he did not do enough of, so i cut a bit more and it fits better on the ends now too.

 

*sound of grinding* + *Dremel* + Matthel yelling "What are you cutting now?" + sweating & bleeding

It's was a surgery that took 3+ppl and 4-5 others eye witnessing this

 

Are you talking about this one?
Hmm... Yes, they are OEM Nissan Wagon Dual Round Headlights that came w/HID's.

But,
1. Would you pay close to $2000 for this headight (including HID)?
2. These headlights in the photo above is RHD (Japan/HK/UK)... right handed drive. Sorry, they don't make this for LHD (US/Canada)
3. I have only one set and is reserved for someone in So Cal.
I agree these would look HOT on the Maxima

 

About the grille...
After you install these Cefiro Headlights (either one piece or the two piece) onto Maxima's, you no longer have the clip on the headlights to install the Stock grille.

You MUST make your own custom bracket to fit the OEM or aftermarket grille. I would think aftermarket grille would be easier to work with..but not sure how they'd look?

Spy Cam ??
Mashimaro took 'em I think?

 

If I was to go with just the headlight of the two piece set, I can still fit an aftermarket Hi/Lo Hid's kit or just a HID kit and lose the High beam right? Where can I get the headlight assembly? Is the a price difference between the one and the two piece?

 

Yes, you can fit after market H-4 HID kit (low beam only and lose high beam), or H-4 Hi/Lo HID kits.
You can get either One-piece Cefiro headlight assembly or Two-piece from me.

Yes, there's a price difference btwn the two.

Note: You are responsible for modify your Maxima to make the headlights fit (95-99 Maxima). The Cefiro Headlights are meant to be direct replacement/upgrade to US version of Infiniti I30 96-99. And these will be sold "as it-is" condition. No returns if they don't fit on your Nissan Maxima

 

I'll keep that in mind, I need to wait for some $$$ to come in. Does the two piece require as much modifications?? I'm undecided on which one I should get but once I decide I'll let you know. Thanx

 

Sorry for the ignorance, but whats the difference between the lamp assy between rhd and lhd cars?????

 

the car looks good.. i read the last page about your experience with JWT and that sux. you should post it in the shop experience section if you havent yet.. theres also a post in there now about how bad their service is

 

Those are purdy. I wish there were 1 piece lights for 3rd gens.

 

care to donate a pair to the poor man?

 

It's not the assembly, it's the beam pattern. The beam will curve upward on the left side so you could see signs on the side of the road in Japan or England, but in America the higher beam on the left just glares in other drivers' eyes. This isn't an aiming thing, it's how the reflectors are designed.

 

it doesnt look like they are tooo far off.. looks pretty decent, it will be interesting to see how the grill will go on though or if you will have to do something custom for that..?

simon is so sneaky

 

yup...they are all right about the beam pattern. my lights shine on the other side of the road, but I managed to aim them down just a tad with a little adjustment on my headlight. the only problem i ran into, was the weather stripping did not fit right when i put the headlights on my car. i might take them off and see how they fit and how the beam aims after taking them off...what do you guys think?

 

Those one piece headlights looks sharp on the MAX too !!! ^^ Just not as sharp as it is on my I30T.

I got Hella H4 Hi/Low Kit on my Cefiro headlight and it works great. No worry about that guys !!

 

Hey man, it went on the back burner, along with everything else for my car. But if you have time next year, I might want to try it again.

Remember back in the day when discussed it and I thought that the bumper would have to be shaved down a bit, well, Turbo95Max told me that he didn't have to. The bolts match up right? As for the grille, I have some fiberglass laminate sheets lying around, maybe I can figure that out later.

Oh and BTW fellas, if you've got the H4 units, the best bulbs for you are the Philips VisionPlus:

Coming to California?

 

You moved? I didn't know. Moved there for good?

 

Yeah dood... for good..
but if you wanna buy a set of the two piece (headlights only)...
come down to NJ btwn 12/23-12/31. I will arrange them for ya

SY

 

Very nice install. ...anything to make a 4th gen look better...

I think it's a major cosmetic improvement for the front. Good job.

 

You should wait til Matthal's car with Grille on after he gets them back from the shop next week
