The Cefiro housings emit an ECE-type beam pattern with a <15 degree flare TO THE RIGHT. There is a sharp cutoff. It is not as sharp as the light pattern emitted by a lowbeam projector lamp since a shield is used to define the pattern whereas free-form lights like the Cefiro housings rely solely on the reflector. At any rate, you can see a sharp horizontal line with a <15 degree incline to the RIGHT. I know because I own a pair. I understand that the only pics you are basing your pretentious posts are lamps retrofitted with mismatched HID units, but you are getting way ahead of yourself since you never seen "stock" Cefiro headlight beam patterns before.
I will take pics of the Cefiro pattern against the wall (the ones that will 0wN you), how far they shine down a dark residential road, and throw in some pics of 3000GT 9006-based low-beam projectors lit against the wall for beam pattern comparison(this was suppose to be my project since I like the z-beam pattern offered by projector lamps, but terminated the project because the Cefiro lamps are quite excellent).
Again, settle down because you will be 0wN3d.

I make this post to warn those of you about buying these headlights.. and I will make a very lengthy post about the m-bumper when my car is out of the shop. I have no intentions of bashing you or your body shop or anyone else affiliated. I will however show and tell people EXACTLY what they are going to have to deal with when ordering the bumper. I do not think of myself as some god prancing around this forum, but I know for a fact that a good majority of people listen to my advice because I am someone who is always trying new things. This is in NO way a threat, I am just letting you know that I am going to post about the bumper and what is all entailed in installing it, and I think you should do the exact same with these headlights.
And as a finishing statement, I am really surprised with how everything turned out in our business deal, especially considering I had to pay for the bumper after everything I am going to have to go through. I also am taking the bumper to another shop before hand to get a quote and estimate as proof it is not just my guy, to attest to the bumper and its fitament.

People, look at the pics. How do you plan on seeing overhead signs on our North American roadways, where our laws require that a certain beam of light, at a certain angle rises so that we light up those signs properly?

. They require FAR longer to install then you say. Gee, big surprise there with you marketing them and making them out to be so great that they bolt up in an hour.

Buddy, do some reading. Get some brains up in there before you go mouthing off. When you actually learn about the physics of lighting systems, and the legalities in our jurisdictions, then come back with something more than useless blabber.
Honestly. The more and more I study the pics, the more problems I find. First it was the poor fitment. But I figured they were nice enough looking that one could get away with it. Then I find out that they are of a wrong beam pattern. GREAT!
Now I notice that the grill is held on by straps of metal attached to the rad support. Gee, that's REAL trick.C'mon Ange. Give me some more pics. I love finding all the ways they are wrong wrong wrong.

You did this same **** with my diamond plate floormat deal, you pointed out some asinine detail that no one cared about that ended up not being a big deal at all.

You know what I have a problem with? People that put out products that cause problems. Problems such as slippery mats, poor lighting, poor fitment, lies by the seller.

You don't even own a set. You've never seen them in person. Hell, you thought they were for RHD cars
First of all, a lot of modern Asian countries adopt ECE standards for lighting. If you must know, if the lighting equipment are not certified as ECE equipment it may be because they will not be found on vehicles for sale in Europe
. http://www.dslextreme.com/users/lewjay/vq/100 ft2.jpg
By your "logic" of seeing a defined line in the light pattern of the cefiro lamps as poor for overhead signs (easily inferred), are projector headlamps also CRAP when it comes to overhead signs due to the shielding of the light in the assembly? If so, please explain why projector lamps can be certified for N.A. roads.
In the above pic, I selected this location to illustrate the effectiveness of these lamps in pitch black conditions. For anyone who fears not being able to see overhead signs, take a look at that building-especially to the left. The top of the building I pointed my headlamps is illuminated. For any signs located on the center divider/median I never have any problems illuminating them, even if I am driving on the "slow" (outside) lane. It doesn't take much for roadway signs to reflect light.
And NO, I do not know exactly where I am going *all* the time. In California detours pop up without notice due to freeway maintenance, Highway Patrol investigations etc. I had to take a detour because they shut down the freeway for a death. However the majority of the time my commute does not alter from the norm and having superior frontal lighting over the crap 9004 I impatiently got rid of does nothing to have "legality issues" cross my mind. Why? I can see better.
Also, don't start with your its not "SAE/DOT" legal/certified crap. DOT/SAE is the most antiquated standard in the WORLD. People in N.A. have been retrofitting ECE "E-code" lamps unto their cars for their superior light performance for years. Companies have been Harmonizing ECE lamps for US roads for a few years already. Only until recently has the US NHSTA begun "studying" the idea of amending 50 year old standards due to the glare caused by lights designed for US/Canada/Mexico roads. What does that tell you? (Hint: We are behind). There are always tradeoffs and if you have to sacrifice a bit of overhead lighting for vastly superior frontal illumination I'm sure people will choose more light in the front and give up some light at the top.
Also go back and ask your "Forumula SAE friends" to confirm that both ECE and US (which Mexico and Canada adopts) have the same intensity minimum above the horizontal axis. This means that the ECE lamps *can* (I used "can" for several reasons) sufficiently light overhead signs. There are slight differences in intensity requirements with respect to specific zones that disqualify an "unmodified" ECE headlamp for certification in the US.
People, common sense is seriously lacking these days. Its great that Sin has reservations about the lamp due to the "legality" of these lamps, but as always take online info with a grain of salt, especially with those with absolutely no experience with the subject at hand. Use your judgement. If the US/DOT standards are so wonderful, how come you dont find any countries with cars using 9004 and 9007 -based headlights like the North American cars?
And you're "so tired of arguing with people without proper SAE, DOT, E-Code, etc knowledge."? Well, I hate arguing with people with NO 1ST HAND EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER. If you seen these lights in person, then thats one thing. But you're going off on lamps YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IN PERSON BEFORE! We don't have room for two 95emeraldgxe's!
I'm not going to waste any more time discussing regulations, "physics"
road signs and ****.

After seeing SupaLao's pics, the proof is in the puddin'. If you buy these Cefiros, STICK WITH THE H4 BULBS.

I think they look tight as heck....lookin good. As for the replies of the beam pattern posted by Ange, she openly said it was her 9004 system..not the H4, and if anyone thinks that a 9004 has a good beam pattern, they should be booted from the org

I never lied about anything that I have sold or sell. That's the way I am as a person. That's the way I conduct business. Any photos I take and post up here are always 'as is' for a reason, so everyone who examines the pics can look at how they fit and make note of any imperfections before making any purchasing decisions. Heck, I even take my car to meets and show people how my products fit onto a Maxima and explain the process of the install.
I never said these headlamps are US legal or meet DOT standards. I've never said they are easy to install or they fit perfectly on 95-99 Maximas. I've never said HID is a must for anyone who is purchasing the headlamps from me. Some can spend $350 for a set of aftermarket (no high beam) H4 HID kit or they can do Hi/Lo H4 HID kit from elsewhere. Everyone has their own budget. As a matter of fact, I've posted two Maximas of these headlights installed, with the gap by the fender. That's why it's called a Cefiro Headlight Conversion. Supa Lao and Matthel has the same imperfections at the fender when they did their own install.
I never said the m-bumper is perfect fitment. I've sold out all 10 m-bumpers from the first production batch in June. Only Jason had major fitment issues with the bumper, and without going into details, I've tried my hardest to help Jason out. Obviously it is very difficult considering he and I are over 2000 miles apart.

Al,

Actually, ever since SY showed me the Cefiro lamps years ago, I've been dreaming of the possibility of mounted these lamps on the front of a Maxima without having to swap on the entire front clip of an I30. Cost has always been an issue, and still is. Unlike most of the guys/gals on the .org, I shudder everytime I have to plop down more than $200 for my car. Call me cheap, or call me responsible, but I will also have to consider the price of doing this conversion.
Another thing is that I am concerned with the fit of the lamp with respect to the fender. When SY showed those lamps back then he also showed me a set that were two-piece. I want to see if I can buy a set of those and make them fit in a similar fashion to Ange's one-piece units. Hopefully, this would rid me of the fender to corner lamp fit issue.

The H4 conversion is possible...at least in my mind and on paper. Basically what I was trying to do was to take a commercially available piece like this (please ignore the riceboyblue bulb in the pic):
...remove the glass lens, cut out a hole in the back of our stock headlamps and graft the H4 reflector and mounting base to our stock headlamp. Aesthetically speaking, it wouldn't look that much different, and functionally, you'd have a decent H4 beam pattern. There's a lot of trial fitting to do, and I just ran out of time. I also experimented with a 1998 Toyota Corolla headlamp reflector...managed to cut the reflector to shape, but I ran out of time when it came to putting it all together.

I would be all over these if there was a writeup describing the steps to install them. I hate the stock headlights but I can't drop $350 on something when I have no idea how the install is. 
Hopefully someone will do one soon and I can get rid of these crappy headlights!

I'm sorry, it's hard for me to tell what is it that you've done.

I made hybrid Maxima headlights using Corolla reflectors. To secure the reflector to the Maxima housing I used exoxy and generous amounts of silicone.
That's the whole idea

Has anyone installed these yet (pics)? Is the headlight portion a direct replacement other than no place to attach the grill?

I would maybe look into the current generation Odyssey headlamps as donor lamps if a project like this interests you. I couldn't get a hold of one but they were of interest to me because from what I've seen on the road, the Odyssey lights seem to have the most powerful output of the lamps I looked that are similar in size to the Max's (Galants, Mirages, etc).
