maybe I'm crazy, but doesn't it kinda looks like an Acura 3.5RL if you concentrate real hard...

One piece headlights

I want a set of these so bad. How much better light projection is there over the stock headlamps. I have a 96 so I have the frosted look, and I have to disagree with that tiger frosted arent that great.

Much better, espesialy if you you install a HID kit in them(and in the fogs

). Ohh man, I really miss that car! Just think if the damn MAFS did not go nut's on me..

DA-MAX, that same thought crossed my mined when I was parked right next to a black 3.5 RL with out a plate on it. My I30 was a lot nicer looking though

Tai Mai Shu: Congratulations, you now have IMPROVED lighting. >>

Now, please, don't go and ruin them with one of those aftermarket HID kits.

Not necessarily Albertt. emax95 seemed quite satisfied with his beam pattern output.

Generally, though, that is true

I've seen these conversions in person...and I guess by my standards, the beam patterns are still poor.

And what about the loss of highbeams...that to me, is totally unacceptable.

I was very happy with it! There was a night and day difference between the Cefiro beam pattern and oem maxima beam pattern.

Albert now I have both

Point taken.

Personally, if I had a I30, I would get the H4 lights and use the VisionPlus bulbs, but that's just me......

Question regarding beam pattern...

Does the Cefiro's headlight produce a pattern similar to the ECE headlamps (found on MBZ, BMW, late model lexus, etc)?

Here's a simple pic I drew.

Edit: Here's a pic of a Toyota Mr2 with 6054 (sealed beam)-type H4 conversion with the ece beam pattern.

Or is the beam flat?

Will produce a beam pattern like the one you drew. It is a feature built into the H4/9003 bulb.

And Bill, that's exactly what I would do. My H4 project is still stalled...I need time to figure out how to mount the reflector.
