did you get cefiro lights from SYCEFIRO or did you buy them from Nis-Knacks? SY said if your purchased from Nis-Knacks, the only way you can reaim it is to take the actual housing apart and see if it is made correctly. Nis-Knacks manufactures a one piece light for our cars...Sy gets his directly from Japan, so his will be more of an exact fit. Thanks for the info SY...

On the One piece headlight there are two screws that you can adjust the headlights. One is the long stud sticking out.. I think it's 10mm or use the philip screw driver... and the other one is located next to the city light.

When you adjust them.. you should be park on a flat service and facing a wall... to see the beam pattern. However, this can also be done by the shop.. if you tell them these are H-4 (same as 2000-2001 non-HID Maxima headlights)

actually its 8mm and you'll turn it LEFT to lower the beam on the long screw and LEFT to move the beam left and RIGHT to move the beam right.

you want to park your car (as mentioned) on a flat surface 20-25 ft away from a wall. measure the height of your headlight, center mass. and aim your light to have the top of the light pattern at that same spot height, left to right should follow the same idea, measure center mass from the midline of the car left and right adjust your beam to fit.

We should have an FAQ on I30 forum too right?
