Headlight Question

Does anyone have pictures of smoked cefiros on a white Infiniti I30? Or...just a small "unofficial poll"...do you all think regular cefiros or smoked would look better on a white 96 Infinit I30t?

Umm? That's totally up to you and how you want to make your car look. Nobody else. Being I can't answer that for you, I'll give you something I can answer. Neither of them have as good light output and beam patterns as OEM or Retro-fitted Projectors.

Oh yeah, and here's Smoked Cefiros on a white I30:

Thank you for the picture and the quick reply! Yeah I know it would be my call but I was just asking others' opinions to see what other people would say. You say to go OEM or retrofit...hmm as the title under my name reads I'm pretty much a newbie about all of this so I'm not sure how to go about retrofitting. Can you give me any advice on this or where I'd be able to purchase OEM headlights?

Max Mutes, you shut your mouth boy! Don't try and talk this newbie out of getting the "oh so sweet" one piece Cefiros for his ride!!! LOL

I personally like the clear cefiros, but I think the smoked ones look good also. Since you have the 96, you can always upgrade to the 98-99 OEM headlights that are crystal clear if you would prefer to stick with oem. That would be an easy upgrade because you would just take out your old headlights and then bolt these on and BAM, you are done!. It would greatly improve the look of the car because of the crystal clear lense. Just a thought, not a sermon. lol

It seems this is about as decent of a price as it can get.

Just have patience under the car, jack her up and un-bolt the plastic parts of the underside and you'll discover the housing (for the I30s)
I'd recommend using some goggles lol, dirt was getting all over my face and eyes. It was pretty annoying workin under there.

LoL! I wasn't tryin to talk him out of it, I was just sayin that the Housings and Beam Patterns are not as good as OEM Cefiros or Retrofit Projectors like Homo...*ahem* I mean our good Apple-y friend Homer Anywhom, heck out HomerMAC's Signature to see what Retrofit projectors looks like. OEM Cefiros look the same, but only come in clear unless you paint them.

Yeah, I know how it is when you'd like others opinions, but we don't know your car you know? Here's what I say tho. Since you got a white I30, if you plan on gettin tints 20% or darker and/or black rims then get the Smoked to accent them. If you don't plan on gettin your car tinted and no Black and/or Dark mods to your car then get clear, as Smoked IMO would look out of place. Hope that helped.
