Pictures of my Cefiro Headlights! :)
Hey guys, finally installed my headlights, not too bad a job, just splicing and checking what wires are what. Ran out of connectors man that's a ***** :P Be prepared when doing any job with all tools needed 
Anyway here's the final result! I know it probably looks like every other I30 out there on here
But hey, I think I'm the second I30 in Canada, and the first in Ontario to have it..
Click for first picture!
Click for second picture!
Hope ya like! Will have more pictures in the light :P Was in a rush to get some prelims up

Yep city lights are hooked up! Love them!
Do you mean something like those silver bulbs that glow orange? or just clear bulbs? I think I'm pushing it here in canada without a reflector on the corners (ticket maybe?)
But I might consider it if it makes it look better......

Next for me is horiz grill and chrome hood ornament as soon as it's back from the GD ... I think that'll make it look sporty, yet the ornament will make it look classy .. What do you think? Yeah I think we're owning Ontario in the I30 mods

That looks real nice I think I'll do that to mine, once I get some extra money, lol. All the other headlight mods I've seen didn't have the orange indicator/corner lights, which is a legal requirement in New Zealand.
I like your bumper too, the rounder look to it compared to mine makes it look more classy Lol, you look to have the best car on your stree, compared to the others in the background

Thanks! The corner lights are orange mainly cuz the bulbs inside are! It's just a reflection of the bulb that makes it appear orange... Hope that's legal here But don't think the cops will notice ...
Yep I think it's the best car on the street here :P Someone has a volvo but it's older and I don't think it's any comparison with the Infiniti! :P
Thanks for the compliments

Just checked the website of NZ LTSA website and according to what it says, I was wrong, I can have white indicators at the front, and red at the back. But since my car was not imported from America, I cannot have a combined indicator and brake light, they have to be seperate. So, more options are available
How much did the headlights cost? I'd probably have to import them since the Cefiros here in NZ have two peice headlights

Pcitures of my Cefiro Headlights!
Hi Steve: was that the GD from MaxJoJo or Angel ?
The installation looks pretty classy...
I'm in Toronto too (R.Hill exactly), and I'd be there w/ Cefiro pretty soon. (sometimes it isn't about $, it's about doing thing right, having driving alot at night, I've the concern on beam pattern for myself and the other vehicles).
BTW, thanks Very Very much for the write-up the other day.
Did u finally have some pic on "beam pattern" ?
Speak to u soon.

Actually I bought it from ado -- from Canada, he imported it himself from Taiwan. It was cheaper because I avoided duties/taxes over the border (if I bought from Ange or MaxMoJo).
Did I write something up? Maybe I jabbered stuff here and there, but the thing is almost plug and play
BTW You live fairly close, I'm just over in North York ..
I'll take some pics of the beam pattern soon, I haven't adjusted it yet but from what I can tell it looks alright as is, might need slight adjustment I'll send you guys the picture and you tell me if it's right and I'll adjust it
One thing about beam pattern tho -- I left the H4's in, they have a sharper cutoff (cover over filament inside the bulb). If you really want a legit replacement that would probably give you a wider spread for driving at night, you could replace the bulb with HB2/9003 which is the US standard for H4. It's basically an H4 bulb but different setup. You could definately use that and you won't have the sharp cutoff .. I may go for that depending on how my night driving is ...

Did you observe if the reflector on this one-piece headlight being designed for horizontal bulb filament or vertical ? The stock reflector is for horizontal...

How does it affect the light bulb? Does this mean the housing is meant only for H4 but not the other bulbs? I highly doubt H4 differs much from HB2/9003. I think the standard is just a subset of H4 but more strict.

I30tMikeD - I have tried to get my corner lights to match my headlights but it seems like the corner ones are some how tinted. I have put PIAA super whites in the corners and they are more yellow then the stock H4s the lights came with. Does anyone else have this problem.

Steve - it looks great. Try and use smaller pics.
Matt - You're right hand drive, so you will need lights from Japan or other RHD countries. Speak to SYCEFIRO, maybe he can get those for you as well.

how do LHD and RHD lights differ?The beam pattern is different. You can tell mostly by looking at the reflectors in the headlights. On the drivers side, there is more of a pie shape that gets bigger that starts at the lights, and works it's way towards the corner light, as it gets bigger. Take a look at my headlights before I put them on: http://www.shopmystuff.com/images/cefiro/cefiro.html, especially the right side (our driver's side). If you look closely you can see that pie shape starting at the headlight and going to the right towards the side marker ... Yours will be the opposite where the pie goes towards the left on that side. Doh does this make sense? I'm drunk :P

I've seen some other setups on that and the lettering was all wierd and looked dumb :P If you know of a good match I'd be up for it with u! Check out www.ionicdesigns.com for the skirts from the maxima, the sides fit perfect, if you get a two-piece rear it'll be easier to fit on (than a whole bumper)... Maybe we can do a group deal (parts + labor to get it painted) me and u hehe
please count me if this is local and if Maps ok with it too. More people, strong bargaining power (P+L cost).
