When i was talking to my cousin in TW this morning, i was telling him that i want the angels eyes so bad!! then he told me an aftermarket company in taipei, taiwan, had made the halo projector headlight for 5th gen maxima,
they are simular like this (of course it's for accord) . he told me those run about $9000NT, so it's about $260 US dollars. I asked him a favor that go take a picture for me for how it looks. once i got the pics, i will post them online and let u guys know. he also will ask the phone number for me so we can ask them if they do the international shipping!

2k2 auto sterling mist

 

what years of 5th gen will this work for?

I am hopin for 2k2

 

DIDDO!!

 

prays for 2k2!!!

 

I'm going back to Taiwan in 9 days

 

Oh, great, now those things will fog up in rain, leak in winter and don't even mention about the beam pattern those thing will put out. With HID conversion kit, it will create incridible amount of glare at night or possiblity see nothing because lights will shoot sideways, not straight.

After all, they are illegal if you GOT caught, because the blue tinted lenses. BUT, THEY DO LOOK COOL AND RICEY!!!

Want to know why? Go ask our ricey civic, accords, integras friends!!

 

I don't think it for 5th Gen Maxima. There is no Maxima in Taiwan. I believe it's for A33 Cefiro.

 

Yes, they do, but most ppl just don't buy them because of crappy interior and its equipment. Most Asians like luxury interior design and fancy equipments. Cefiros have those, besides, most ppl in Taiwan would drive 4 cylinders cefiros, not V6 models, because it wastes hella more gas and the fastest you can drive in Taiwan most of the time is less than 40 miles per hour most of the time!

However, they do make stuff for US maximas, what do you think the VIS carbon fiber hood and VIS racing body kits for 5th gen maximas are from?????

P.S. I have true coil-over system on my max from Taiwan!!!

 

since I'm going back to Taiwan in like 9 days
can anybody tell me where I can go to find stuff for maxima? ( i have 2k2 btw)

 

Anything for the 2k-2k1?

 

It's for 5th gen maximas, include 2k-2k3. taiwan has no 2k2-2k3 though, but they do have 2k-2k1. All i saw just GLE, i never seen GXE and SE before!!

u r going back in 9 days?? wow....how nice...i wish i can go back but due to my intersession. u might go ask some infos about those head lights!! u can buy a sports magizine and they have lots of speed shop!! i remember that after market company is called "Ä£¼w'

 

i'll remember that, thx

 

Are u sure? I thought the north american Maxima was a north american specific model.

 

your right those are the A33 Cefiro light my brother in Trinidad own one "right hand drive of course"!!! i dont think it will fit the max but i could be wrong>>>

 

Why would I lie to you if I have seen in person and I even have Nissan of Taiwan's AD that says"like Porche's performance family sport sedan"

BTW, they only have like 220hp for US spec maximas sold in taiwan, guess why, because they have even tighter emission control than Califonia emission cars!!!

I remember there was this one time, my friend brought back a US spec toyota MR-2(turbo version) california emission--back to Taiwan after he finished his education here. He had to something to his emission control system in order to pass emission in Taiwan to become legal to drive on the street. I think he added another Catalytic Converter on top of those factory ones

 

I WANT BADLY!!! PLEASE LET US KNOW!!!!You will be my headlight god if you can get them!!!!!!

 

in 9 hrs

 

DOH!!!! My mom just came back from there. If I had just know this a few days earlier..... BAH! heheh! Hmmmm I am going there this summer though.

 

I want that Headlight Man... let me know ASAP..i'm willing to buy them as soon as they arrive in US...

 

Same in China and the rest of the world. No maxima anywhere else except North America. A33 Cefiro is basically cosmetically identical to Infiniti I30/35

 

'

which really puzzles me as to how someone can get this from Taiwan.

 

i've seen the 5th gens when i got back to TW this summer. all i saw were GLEs and GXEs, i am wondering they have SE in TW. they do have maximas, they dont have the 2k2 model, but they have the 2k-2k1 model.

p.s if u dont believe, buy $800 ticket and see urself

 

Yes they do HAVE MAXIMAS IN TAIWAN !!! read my previous message!

Actually they even have factories in Taiwan that make Nissan cars--we called it domestic Nissan, and the imported ones (made in USA or Japan). Same goes for Subu Imprezza, they are made in Taiwan, they dont' even sell the Japanese made Imprezza in Taiwan(unless of course you specifically order one from US, Japan)....

Taiwanese make a lot of stuff that you will never realize. For example, Mugen, Tokicos, and a lot of JDM parts are actually made in Taiwan factories..
A lot of times, like Acura RSX, they never sell that car in Taiwan, but you will probably realize that a lot of parts sold in US are from or made in Taiwan---
How do they do it? the companies import RSX and R&D parts for it and later sell the car to some rich ppl who want to be exclusive!

and I have heard rumors that JIC is actually made in Korea ..anybody can confirm this?

 

i have no problem with Taiwan having 5th gens

if JICs were made in Korea, they must be really good!

 

Really? That cheap? ONly $800, I thought it would be more expensive now that the airlines are all going broke. Anyways, That'a some more knowledge for me. I'm Taiwanese too. WOuldn't mind going back there and check out stuff. What's a JIC?

 

yeah rite, tell me about it. My previous korean made HID kit was all it takes for me to not to choose another korean products again!

Sorry no offense to you since you are korean!

 

Sounds good...count me in!
I tried to get a company in CA to make them, but got shot down.
They make these for the Infinity, so I thought I had a shot.

 

If you had the time...you could try them yourself:

As for those of you being afraid to open, and not crack your housing open, no cracking needed or occurs. Put your headlight into the oven and heat to around 180. The heat will heat up the housing but not enough to cause damage. It also heats up the glue which will become sticky and soft. Use an old butter knife. Preferably not sharp and not too bendable and one that you wounldn't mind destroying. (Glue sticks to it) just start prying around and when you get the inside most edge, toward the high beam or toward the center (of the car) then use your fingers and pry. If the housing or glue gets cold or becomes hard again, put it back in the oven. The first time I did it with my 2k housing, it took me 40 min each because it was the first time. The second time it took about 10-15 min each.
No damage and when putting it back together, just reverst the steps an put the whole thing back in the oven and heat. This way the glue will soften and allow you to push everything back together and seal corretly. If you're afraid of moisture, I would say run a thin bead of silicone in the joints. I would be nice if we knew what Nissan uses for the glue then you can just squeeze some more in.

my 2 cents

 

i don't think that there are Maximas in Taiwan...i just checked out the nissan taiwan site and i can't find it...
www.nissan.com.tw....they got a lot of sentras..since most of the taxis are sentras...

 

www.nissan.com.tw

 

There are 5th gen Maximas in Taiwan. I saw one myself at Costco in KHH. They stopped selling them after the 2001 model year probably because the engine size went from 3.0L to 3.5L. I believe this is a taxable threshold but what do I know, I'm a foreigner.

FWIW I just bought a RT ticket from a podunk-middle-of-nowhere east coast city to KHH on Northwest for $620 (via an appropriate Chinese travel agency of course).

 

Taiwan does sell Maxima, and they are still selling 2K Maxima becuase
Maxima does not sell in Taiwan. eg: in the SE Maxima, dealer took of the wing and the interior suck(Trim Wood). They sell Maxima for 1,500,000 NT = 5,0000 USD

I worked for Option Magazine in Taiwan and I was one of writer who wrote for Maxima. I am very positive that Taiwan has Maxima. If you want to know, I can tell you which episode of "Option Magazine" has Maxmia.

 

any word on these lights??? is he back yet????
late
