Maxima "r34 style" headlights...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...QQcmdZViewItem

These babies... how well would they fit?? Search function blowz... google doesn't do a very good job... all I found was a rumor that "light output sucks". Probably do a HID conversion with em anyway.

But yes... maxima headlights in an i30??

I'm assuming this is for an A32? Seller doesn't have the greatest feedback.

Well, people have been able to mod the Maxima bodies to make Cefiro headlights fit so I don't see why the reverse wouldn't be possible.

Probably wouldn't drop right in, but might be able to be coerced.

Yeah, it's for an a32. Thinking about it... it's probably really close to fit, maybe cut that extra mounting tab off...

There's another seller on fleabay that has the lights as well.

The R34 style headlights have a horrible beam pattern and output, FYI.

you would have to trim the fender. it works the other way because the cefiros are smaller. and more importantly... why would you want to? cefiro > r34.

they don't fit :bawling:

I bought a pair of them and cut the mounting tabs off like the I30 headlights before testing the fitment, only to find out they don't fit or I would return them. You can mount them only with the two studs inside studs, as for the outter part nothing lines up. As for fitting to the car the sidelights profile is more differn't than it looks and I have 1/2 gap where the lights aren't big enough. And the hood on the I30 doesn't cover the tops of the lights and also the front of the hood(near the grill) is almost too wide as it touches both headlight, but if you move the headlights outward they start flairing away from the fender.Also they angled to low for use on the I30, if you aim the correctly you would have a 1/2 gap under the lights and the hood would't even latch. I would of never guessed that there would be some much difference between the max and the I30, expectly with the maxima's being able the use cefiro lights. I plain on using for them for the time being and then getting the cefiro like I wished it did the first time.

Thanks!!

Do you have pics?? Would you sell them?? Since they fit like crap, I have another idea... (I'll buy a maxima and do it to that!! JK...)... but yes, I am interested if you're willing to sell.
