*drool* My Cefiro headlights came in today -->
I can't wait. I have H4 bulbs coming in soon, so I'll have to wait
to slap these puppies on. Damn. They look soooo cool. Obviously, my modding bug has started it's infestation. Right now, I'm looking for subtle mods that my wife won't figure out.
Woohoo!
Thanks SYCEFIRO!

Just visiting from the 5th gen area but I am in the same boat as you: Making mods she won't notice or will like!
So far:
Clear corners: 2 weeks and no response
AE door sills: She was OK with them, neither like or dislike
AE pedals DENIED (too bad because I really like them
)
2k2 tails She REQUESTED THEM!!!!!
Enjoy the mods!

You'll love them. They totally change the look of the front end. The better bulb is just icing on the cake. I have people make comments on them all the time.
Enjoy!

You know what? It got sent to the office, so I just broken open the box, but didn't really inspect them that well. So, I don't even know if there are bulbs in there. I assumed there wasn't.
I ordered Phillips Vision Plus H4 from powerbulbs.com. They're supposedly very very good. I'm just waiting until they come out with a decent hi/lo H4 HID kit. Right now, I think that the movable bulbs or shields are an invitation to failure.

I have been using my Hella H4 Hi/Low kit for the last 6 months or more and no problem at all. I think it depends on who made those bulbs. Korean one are sure not to last long !!!

I think that with all these moving parts, the MTBF will occur relatively soon. Maybe the shielding gets stuck in the "hi" position, or the moving bulb gets stuck in the "lo" position. The concept is there, but I'm not sure if the technology is there to make it happen. I'll wait until they get the hi/lo thing straightened out first. It's still in it's infancy stage.

Duh !!! I mentioned HELLA in my post like 3 times !!! READ .. Buddy !!! j/k ...
In case you don't know who Hella is. Hella makes all HID used by Benzs and BMWs!!! One of the well know German lighting company just like Philips.

I am working on getting a sample of "GOOD QUALITY" High/Lo HID kits to me by end of the month. We'll see how it goes!

PS. The headlight sets should have the OEM Osram H-4 bulbs in them.. you should try them out side by side with one OEM 9004 and one OEM H-4 bulbs for comparison.

Holy s#it...those are blue...and nice! Hella makes your ballast and your bulb is made in korea.
Can you guys give me the nissan part number for the headlights? Do they still go for 400 shipped?
That picture is crazy, yet cool at the same time!

This headlights are used on the Cefiros in Taiwan which looks so much better then the ones we have on I30 (especially the foggy glass type 96-97).It is RAINNING here in Vancouver and may last the next whole MONTH.
Not possible to take any shot at the beam pattern.
