It looks like to me that it will fit with minimal custom work. But, it is apparent that the only thing that is holding us back is the steep angle on the outside of the headlight where the corner light would match up with the headlight. I am sure that this could be worked on with time, but the last thing we need is a gap in between the headlight and the corner light. Since we all love the one-piece headlight concept, it would be hard to deal with a DEFINITE corner light and DEFINITE headlight combo.....But would still be a better alternative to what we have now......which is nothing lol....

Hey Ange, can you do me a favor? Can you give me the dimensions of the headlight itself? Like, I need the bottom (corner to corner) measurement, the top (corner to corner) measurement, the grille side measurement, top to bottom, and the corner light side measurement (top to bottom). Thanks Ange, if I get what I can, I may be able to fit these onto our Maxipads.......

30+ Order Groupdeal: $184.99/pair

The Sentra boards are b!tching about my prices.

If the quality and light output is good those prices seem very reasonable. However my biggest concern would be improving the light output over the 4th gens crappy stock headlights, if they would not improve light output I probably would not buy them.

I am not an expert on headlights but isn't the main reason our headlights suck the crappy 9004 bulb? (plus the poor reflctor design) If you are making new headlights why would you use this same bulb? The 9004 is a dual filiment anyway, and these have separate high and low beams, so it could not be 9004s, Right?

Is the angel eye ring hooked up seprately? Do you have the option of turning it on how you want to or leaving it disconnected? Or is it wired into the low beam somehow?

It's raining today, I'll get you some measurements tomorrow (email me at ange@redlinemax.com ) and I'll reply.

Anachronism: OE Sentra headlamps uses 9004, just like us 4th gens. *edit* Not sure about these. I'll have to find out. I'll find time to test fit them (when it's above freezing here). I may need some help though (since I don't have dremel

).

Cumalittle: Just started my business, can't really afford to send things back and forth. But thanks for your offer though.

I'm going to assume the bulbs in there are not 9004. But have a 9004 harness on the back of it so you can just plug it in. I'm sure for the angel eyes, you could just hook that up to a parking light or something.

I think stock sentra lights are 9004 but the angel eyes have 2 lamps which sugests that they use two single filament bulbs instead of one dual fillament.

That's wut I was thinking (OE is 9004)...
Anyway, I'm not going back to the Sentra boards to ask them, they practically booted me out b/c of my pricing.

it's just a 9004 harness on the back of the headlight, so you can just plug in the factory harness in there. They are not 9004 bulbs in the housing, definitly some other size.
