Use the one on redlinemax.com's for the maxima installation, just ignore the cutting and fitting parts as these lights are just made for our I30s The hardest part was splicing the wires correctly; and making the new corner (1157) and daytime bulbs (194) fit properly.

Thanks for your help. I went ahead and installed them yesterday and not one problem. Very excited. It really was not a bad mod at all.

Thanks again everyone for your help.

You had trouble with the wiring? Red to red, black to black...

congrats...

Patrick-- Well with my cefiros and the H4 harness I used from an Altima, there was no red and black, all three wires were black... However, if you had wired them wrong... your highbeams would have been on the entire time.

the only thing that could possibly go wrong with the install is that you wire ur high beams to your low beams and low beams to your high beams. other than that it tookl about 15 minutes to install, and i soldered all the connections on the headlight harness. im also using a 3A racing heavy duty harness. seems to me to be one of the beefiest looking harnesses around but then i converted to an Hid kid 8000k from hidplace.com, so the harness got cut out and i soldered the connections right into the factory wiring

Longboarderphil: I used the 3A racing H4 harness as well. Worked great! I also saudered all the connections and then covered them with electrical tape so make sure they were safe. it worked great and I LOVE THEM!!! It looks like I have a brand new freaking car!

By the way everyone, I installed the Cefiro Stoneguard protection on my lights before installing them and they look great and will never be scratched or cracked!! wOOO Hooo! I can send you pictures of them if you are interested, but I will be honest, I tried taking pictures of the stoneguard on the lights last nigth and you cant see it (that's how it is supposed to be) lol I can still send them if you want to see how the Stoneguard looks installed so you can protect your headlights as well.

Thanks everyone!

Not that easy here, there were different colors for the headlight harness, from what I remember, green, red, some with stripes, etc. *Rolls Eyes* As I do not know how to use the faces yet
