Hey guys, I'm in the market for some cefiro headlights for my 98 i30. I'm kind of torn between the chrome ones and the smoked and I really just need to see them on other i30s before I purchase so that I somewhat know what they'll look like on my car. So can you all post some pics of your cars with the cefiro headlights?

 

check the members rides at the top of this section it should be sticky'd, but if u have a car outside of white i would go with the smoked cefiros, check my sig for pics.

 

i'm gonna go ahead and agree.. the only reason I got chrome is b/c of my car color (white) other than that, i'd get the smoked

Chrome:

 

nice headlights you got to black them out

 

Black > chrome.

 

I believe he's showing the two different styles. The chrome VS black housings.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks guys, I've looked at the headlights in the member's rides thread. I'm definitely going with the smoked ones.

 

hello i am in the same boat i am going to be purchasing some one piece cefero head lights soon.. . i am stuck between the tinted and the ultra clear ones i dont know if the tinted ones will look good with my car ... opinions?

 

Thanks, that was exactly what I was trying to show.

 

i like the ones in my sig..i actually have two sets of cefiro's right now..tee hee hee hee..one with just reg hid's, and the other ones are retro fitted with projectors..hehehehehe...........

 

I was just thinking that before I order the cefiros, maybe I should consider retro headlights. Do you guys know what all is involved in doing that and the level of difficulty for that? Thanks.

 

Anyone know a good place to get cefiros? I live in Canada, also im thinking smoked for my gold i30, agree? disagree?

 

I have had Cefiros for quite a while now and I'll tell you one thing right now, if you want a decent beam pattern (as in not scattering light all over the place and not enough on the road), get the OEM lights if you can find them. They only come in chrome, but you can paint them black or body color yourself if you really want to. The only reason I would suggest getting aftermarket (read: smoked or cheap chromes) is if you are going to retrofit projectors into them. It has been said many times that it is a bad idea to put HID retrofit kits (not projectors) into the aftermarket cefiros due to the poor beam pattern that will blind other drivers.

 

i jus sold mine becuz of the horrible beam pattern... i should have tried retrofitting the projectors into them but oh well... my lost is someone else's gain i guess

 

I got my cefiros in a few days ago and just got my hids. They are the all chrome ones. I painted the reflectors black to reduce any chance of glare.

I took the headlights apart yesterday and already made my wire harness prior. There is a ****load of bad information on hidplanet so I ended up modifying some wiring schematics that they posted. The original harness had a relay which was powered by the high beam signal but then activated the solenoids that were still tied to the high beam signal. Just adding extra wires and load. I made it that the high beam activated relay now sends battery signal to the solenoids.

They also had some thing about adding a capacitor and other things which was already included in the ballasts.

 

here is a shot of the light right before sealing. I will post more pictures after I get 15 posts.

 

Those lights look amazing! How much would you say it cost to do all that?

 

$500 +/- I could have saved more if I shopped around but whatever.

check out http://forums.maxima.org/infiniti-i3...lcome-lol.html for more pictures and cut-off shots.

 

Oh ok... thanks. I'm really interested and plus the light output is amazing.

 

i did my retro for a little less than 250 actually, im shroudless thou:

 

Seriously? I included the harness and headlights in mine. You got one hell of a deal.

 

if u add the headlights lol then it becomes about $330, i have put extra money into it im sitting at about $600 as of now. but just to get Projectors HIDS and the harness to wire them that was only $250. With the prices of HIDs&Projectors these days u can easily have a retro for like $150

 

Wow, I getting bi-xenons that cheap takes quite some time right? Ebay as of now have none at that price.

 

just look around, E46 bi-xenons tend to be the cheapest and is what most people including me are running, i had a set of X5 bi-xenons for sale not long ago. i sold them for $70, i have some IS350s that im trying to get rid of but i want 100 for them and they are single xenon

 

regular ones on mine in the sig

 

Off topic, but i love the way you did your grill.

 

i'm still kinda new with maxima's and I30's but, why not get the authentic OEM JDM cefiro headlights instead of the black housing ebay ones? hears a pic of the authentic "smoked/black housing" headlights, i'm waiting til the end of the month to get them for my maxima.



no offense to anyone but the ebay "cefiro" black house headlights look really tacky and cheap...

 

those are the ones im lookin 4

Yes, they are TRUE OEM JDM Nissan Cefiro Headlights.
You can tell by the extra buldging piece on the side marker.
They are however RHD (Right handed Drive) though. It'd be the best to retrofit them into LHD (US road) so you won't blind the incoming traffic or get tickets from incoming cops...

SYCEFIRO

 

yes i see that little buldge on the side

how do u retro fit them??what was the site u got them from??
ah dam u dont stay in the U.S do u..ur plate

 

the ones i posted on the link are they good to???

Where did you get the headlights in your sig pic?

 

Hi guys,

I own a blacked out 1997 Infiniti I30 but i cant find any lights for it. Does anyone know a website where i can buy some for it. Or will any maxima headlights fit my I30?

Thanks everyone!
