Hey, I was actually thinking of doing something like what you mentioned. I have already completed an IS300 light conversion in the rear (fairly cheap), and I was thinking of what to convert the front end to. I was actually leaning towards a GS lexus, and having them mold the bumper, headlights and grille to the front of the car, but I'm still undecided. Let me know what you decide.

It's nothing to get worked up over. All they did was remove the inner lenses and put the little circles from the IS300, but I decided to go with clears instead of the red. So right now, I have the clear outer tailights with clear inner IS300 lights. I ordered a set of altezza lights to put on the outside, I'm not a big fan of them, but I think it will look decent with the IS300 inner's, so we'll see. I can always take the altezzas off. I'll post pics before and after in about a week.

I would rather spend the money to buy the whole BMW rather than spend money fitting the BMW lights on a Maxima.

Ya.... Ive seen pics of your car before and congrats on having the craziest maxima out there if it is a maxima. That is my one question, what spec maxima is that? 4th Gen North American market? If it is then . PS - i think front end looks better with black grille (the pic with the nissan symbol on the grille).

ANGEL/DEMON EYES

If you wanted to take the rings out of the lights on the new 5-series you might be able to do it... A lot of people are buying them for their 3-series (e36) BMW's. Some come with an HID conversion and other without. If you are good with your hands ( ) then you could try to convert your Maxima lights to house the rings from the BMW. But just to let you know, it will be hella expensive, you would need to first buy the 5-series FULL from lamp. They can range anywhere (from the Stealer) from low to high hundreds of dollars. Depending on if they are HID or not...

I found this link-- This guy with a CRX did it... Personally, I think the only car that should have angel/demon eyes are the BMW's, no matter what series, or else it looks ricey. But its up to you, good luck

IS 300 tail is ok, but i prefer the skyline - type tail lights, where they paint both the inner and outer tails

And I'll consider working once you're done. Vyruschops are in high demand now-a-days.

Beautiful Max you got there! That's the way Nissan ought to be building them, they'd fly off the dealers lots!
