A32 I30/Cefiro Projector Headlights

Found it on Yahoo! Taiwan and figured I share:

Maybe Sycefiro can get some for those interested?

Although i cant understand a word that's written there, those lights are SIICKKKK!!!!!!!! even the beam pattern is perfect!

Can someone translate and let me know how much these things are going for?

and do they have them for the 4th Gen Max as well? I have a 96 I30 and a 97 Max SE.

Thanks for posting - Taiwan Rocks!

I'm wondering if those are factory-made or just retrofits someone is doing in the stock headlights. Only reason I wonder is because A) the beam pattern (+bi-xenon) is actually decent for an aftermarket projector headlight and B) the shroud /trim is the same on a different headlight on there with a projector in it.

But hey, if factories are putting quality (aftermarket) projector headlights then great.

Though, it may make more sense for someone to retrofit a set of headlights here (or pay a service to do it) depending on the cost of importation.

They're a shop that specializes in HID retrofit kits.

1)They use only BMW's Hella HID/D2S, says the lens will not blur after several months of continuing use.

2)They use only German-made super-thin ballasts and D2S bulbs made by Philips/Osram, and not some $5000NT China-made piece of crap. Pls ask about the brand before you buy. If they're not what we use, refuse to buy!

3)They only use high-quality angel-eyes, not domestically-made crappy ones which won't bent due to heat.

4)They don't use wet-gels or silicone. The seal won't look like it was chewed by dogs, make sure it stays stock. Be sure to refuse to use wet-gel or silicone before you retrofit.

5)This one basically says that they use the BMW E65's lenses only and their retrofit kits are Bi-xenon. Its mechanical system/motor for the Bi-xenon is life-time warranty. Play with it all you want...break it, we replace it. The rest I can't translate...

6)This one is really funny if you can read Mandarin...
"Our Shop's retrofit kits are the best. Yours look pretty at night yea but during the day yours gets killed by the light. What kinda angeleyes do you have? You cover it with some electro-plated chrome rings and call it projector-retrofit? That is called ghetto-fit kit. Your sealant is all exposing like boogers, so nasty. How can you stand a messy job like that? People on the road see you driving around with that, are laughing at you in their minds but they just don't open their mouths. Unless you have too much money to burn and just don't care.

16,500.00 TWD = 500.4094 USD but that's still expensive, since the price is w/o shipping :I

16,500 Yuan thats how it got translated by babel fish using chinese and using yahoo exchange is 1.00 Chinese Yuan = 0.1322 U.S. Dolla

so that means 16500 x.1322 =2181.3

please someone correct me if i'm wrong

I did not read the site, but I am guessing that the Taiwanese use the informal words "kuai" or "qian" or even "yuan" to describe the price. For example, "mei yuan" is American money. Leave off the "mei" and it's just a generic term for money. If you use Bablefish to translate from Chinese to English, likely it will use the fact that the language is Chinese and just call the money "yuan".

I think I saw somewhere they also had (TD) which would mean Taiwan dollar.

hello i can get these headlights. I am a seller for most car headlights, you can see some under my ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Depo-Auto-Lights and my ebay name is nizoma$$$. My site is www.depoautolights.com. I will be adding these headlights to my stock very soon. They are normal cefiro 1piece headlights but you can request to put CCFL and projectors in them which raises the price on these. They are $480 shipped. They are special ordered and will take about a week to make, but shipping takes like 3-5business days. They work with H1 and H7 bulbs, not H4 like the normal cefiro headlights. I will also be more than happy for a group deal.

What kind of projectors are these? H7?
Do you have a picture of the beam pattern?
Will these work with the stock harness or will a new harness be
provided?
