New A33 I30/I35 Headlights
New A33 I30/I35 Headlights
Please note that this are just in production and they are available for Maxima.org member soon.. if we have enough interest (set of 10 or more).
I have taken the test with HID and the light is pretty focused.
These are available for Maxima.org member at U$425 shipped (first 10 sets or any # of sets ordered & paid before end of March), after that it would be U$435+ shipped.
Please email me and I can share the beam pattern and other photos as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hahaha! Did I beat Kings to the first post about these lights. 
Dammit SYCEFIRO, I could have left my OEM headlights intact and could have ordered theses. Now, if I decide to trade my car in I have to order another set of stock HIDs. ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.
Anyway, are these plug-in-play/direct fit with the OEM HID balast? I like the Q45 style low-beams. I want in so, I want to see more pics with the HIDs in them aimed. Do you have any bigger pics of the lights on a A33?
Email me the pics and more info.

There are few options to fit HID in. I need to find out how the stock I35 ballast and connector look like and see if we can just change to H-1 HID bulbs only and connect to the stock Ballast. Otherwise, the best way to do is get this headlight housing and hooking it up to aftermarket HID H-1 kits.
These are H-1's both high beams and low beams. The beam pattern are very focus as well as the clear beam pattern.
Here are some photos on the car:
Driver side is this headlight with H-1 HID, and Passenger side is OEM headlight with aftermarket HID

OMG Fugging hotness. I will be on the first order if the stock balast can fit correctly on these lights. If not I might have to order a pair and make them fit. I really don't want to spend too much money on lights and still have to buy a HID kit to fit into these lights. Ok I take that back, are there any HID kits that look like the Audi and Acura TSX - TL / BMW lights for cheap?
I really like these lights. The stock headlamps in the I35/I30 look dated.
Can you send me more info on the ordering process. You the man Sy.

To make the H1 bulb work with the factory ballast, you just need an adapter like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/D2S-D...spagenameZWDVW
It converts the D2S/D2R plug into standard AMP connectors.

Did you start a retrofit Lee? Just buy some A33 I30 halogens ($100) and a HID kit ($260) instead of buying the stock I35 HIDs when it's time to trade it in.
Very nice lights SY. If I wasn't retrofitting already I'd go this route.

Kings, are you ready for some fun??? 
Ran across this thread in the 5the gen section. Basically the guy cleared out the stock 5.5 gen maxima headlights and then use black matte paint finish in the housing. Came out to be a smoked headlamp lense. Would look hot on diamond graphite or darker color i35/i30s if we could do this to the headlamps that Sy has for sale.

Let me request to see if there are any possibility to get smoked or darker headlight scheme.... But they may require lots of order... to make it... I'll work on it more this weekend... hopefully if I can get in touch with the manufacture.

I guess Ill be the first one to say that I dont really like them. These remind me of the cheap Max projectors on ebay, but I guess people like those. They would probably look better with black surrounds though.
I would love to take the stock lamps and retro Q45 projectors into them. I think that would be the best combo.
As far as the effect of black paint on the city light, I dont think it would matter much. The little reflector looks pretty directional in the first place.
Here is a pic of what I have done so far... Just cleared and painted the surrounds black:

OK, I guess I'll be the only one to go against the flow. And this is in no way to insult the product or sycefiro, just my opinion. While the lights look very cool, the pictures of its output again the wall is horrible. The beam pattern is crooked, and doesn't even have a correct cutoff like OEM I35 headights.
Edit: Just to reiterate my point, notice the pic below of the headlight with HID. See the crooked cutoff and the hotspot?
And this is what a OEM projector cutoff looks like, and should look like.....straight and even across.

n3985 and NewLove just summed up my thoughts ever since this thread began. I've been holding off on commenting so as not to dampen the mood, but since the the dam's been broken... 
They're nice looking lights, but that's about it. I applaud Sy for bringing another product to the A33 community, but I know for a fact that I won't be buying a set. The beam pattern, as n3985 has illustrated...not so good. The overall look + likely fit and finish = eBay projectors as Newlove stated.
A better option (functionally) would be an OEM retro'd projector with a nice shroud in the OEM headlight. That said though...I'll give credit where it's due. The overall headlamp design looks pretty nice. I do enjoy the circular low-beam and high-beam areas as opposed to the more oval-shaped ones in the OEM headlights. Perhaps this could be a good candidate for a retro'd Q or some other OEM projector with better output..

The beam pattern has a cut-off shown on the wall like that is because it's an H-1 housing (unlike the factory HID) . It was not designed to compete or replace the factory HID housing. But it's a better alternative, if someone wants to retrofit aftermarket HID into halogen housing. This would be a better choice to retrofit vs. putting HID into the stock 9006 halogen housing.
The reason why I said about retrofitting the stock HID onto this housing is because Lee doesn't want to spend extra money on aftermarket HID's (see the threads on top).
Finally, the headlight is better looking when you see it in person. Picture does not do justice. Anyway... that's all for now..

School is killing the finances right now. Which means that I dont get to buy anything fun untill probably the end of May. If you still have these (or another set) at that time I will DEFINITELY be interested in taking them off your hands.
Thanks for letting me know.

Wait if you just put in aftermarket 9006 bulbs the light output would be better is that all?? if so Ill get a set to be the test dummy if u want and show how they com out

Beam pattern shmeam pattern. As long as I can see the road what else do I need?
(1) They look hot.
(2) No one else within 100 miles of me will have them.
(3) Just the fact that the city light bulb is relocated outside of the low beam reflector is enough for me to wanna figure out how to scrape up enough cash to buy these.

If you have a $hitty beam pattern you are NOT going to get the best coverage on the road (where it counts)... And you will probably end up temporarily blinding oncoming traffic...
But what concern is that of yours if someone traveling towards you at 60+ mph can't see???

Me + 20 posts = not going to win.
But you might find this interesting:
"There are two different beam pattern and headlamp construction standards in use in the world: The UNECE ("United Nations Economic Commission for Europe") standard, ...and the SAE standard that is mandatory only in the US. The differences between the two standards are primarily in the amount of glare permitted towards other drivers on low beam (SAE permits much more glare), the minimum amount of light required to be thrown straight down the road (SAE requires more), and the specific locations within the beam at which minimum and maximum light levels are specified. ECE low beams are characterized by a distinct horizontal "cutoff" line at the top of the beam. Below the line is bright, and above is dark. ... SAE low beams may or may not have a cutoff, and if a cutoff is present, it may be of several different forms. Proponents of each system decry the other as inadequate and unsafe: U.S. proponents of the SAE system claim that the ECE low beam cutoff gives short seeing distances and inadequate illumination for overhead road signs, while international proponents of the ECE system claim that the SAE system produces too much glare. Comparative studies have repeatedly shown that there is little or no overall safety benefit to either SAE or ECE beams; the two systems' acceptance and rejection by various countries is based primarily on inertial and philosophical grounds.
Here's the whole article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight
Not trying to start a fight, I'm just saying don't tell me preference in beam pattern has to do with safety. It's a matter of personal taste. Mine is that a clean horizontal line would be nice, but how the headlamp looks on the car is more important to me so if it's not perfectly horizontal IMO it's not a big deal.

This is hardly a matter of winning vs. losing, but more an issue of "I hate it when I can't see what's ahead of me on a 2-lane road at night because the idiot driving towards me has sh*tty beams."
http://faqlight.carpassion.info/retro-vs-oem.htm
I disagree that beam pattern has little to do with safety. If the cutoff isn't horizontal and the headlight casting stray light above it, then yeah, it becomes a safety issue. Especially when you're placing a light source 3x more powerful than the halogen bulb intended to go in there. Hotspots otherwise neglible before the retrofit become a serious concern by that point.
The headlight reflectors and lenses of OEM HID headlights (=optics) are engineered specifically for use with HID arc capsules. The design not only considers the source focal points, but the amount of lumen to be distributed. These factors are often overlooked when retrofitting is considered. OEM HID optics distributes the increased lumen output of this bulb farther ahead on the road, wider to both sides, without giving more directly in front of the subjected vehicle. This provides motorists with much WIDER AND DEEPER night time vision.
By contrast, halogen headlight optics do not spread the light to the degree of OEM HID. This is simply because a 55 watt halogen bulb (or even a 100 watter) cannot match the lumen output of HID. A lower number of lumens means less light to spread out. And a bigger portion of the total light output have to be placed where its mostly needed: straight ahead. Now, consider what what happens when someone inserts a 2800-3200 lumen HID arc capsule into a headlight designed to distribute only 1/3 of this amount of light. Suddenly, there's too much light in areas that does not need more light:
# Too much light above cutoff line which would be above horizon on a flat road. This will glare oncoming traffic.
# Too much light below cutoff line which would glare dangerously towoards oncoming traffic on a hill.
# Too much foreground lighting. The driver will get the intense foreground lighting back in his own eyes, making eyes less sensitive for down the road illumination beyond 70 meters down the road.
Beam pattern
Compare the beam patterns of HIDRH vs. standard halogen lamp. Here you will see a very noticeable difference. A HIDRH will produce a brighter concentration of light compared to it's halogen cousin, no question, but it will not come close to the depth and width of light distribution created by an OEM HID light system. For other drivers, an OEM HID system will be easier and less fatiguing to look at than a HIDRH. That is because there is less glare. OEM HID reflector systems does not have directly visible HID bulb from above cutoff like many HIDRH systems have. OEM HID reflector systems have a much better cutoff than HIDRH systems have. The list of reasons for vague (or missing) cutoff line are too long to mention here. Many of them are discussed under "Special Topics" that has a section for each Halogen type bulb.

Well I can understand a small amount of concern if you use these housings for HIDs, but I do not have HIDs on my I30, so like I said safety is not an issue (as long as these are SAE approved). But even if I did have HIDs, as long the manufacturer's product is SAE approved for use with HIDs, there's still no need for concern.
At any rate, I have never, ever heard of "the headlights were too bright" causing an accident. I have heard a bunch of self-professed HID experts talk about how important proper lighting is and that glare will cause accidents, but like the wikipedia article said, the statistics do not back that claim up.
By the way, if you find yourself coming towards a vehicle whose headlights are very bright or whose high beams are on, the trick is to not look directly at the lights but to look to the right side of the road. I learned that back in Driver's Ed in the tenth grade.
BTW, I couldn't help but notice the 5-hole projector looks like the new Q45 housing. Maybe that's another reason I like them so much, they kinda bring the front fascia a little more up-to-date.
