for those with cefiro headlights.

couple questions, first, the 10mm bolt that is close to radiator on each side, how did you get to this, looks like to me, I'm gonna have to lean the radiator back, and possibly d/c a couple hoses, second, with the parking light harness, you use the one that came with the light housing? or the stock one, because they both fit into the housing itself, but mixing the stock harness with the cefiro socket looks impossible, any help is much appreciated

I don't know about the I30s but IIRC... I think the bolts come in from the front of the car... so we had to remove the grill. The I30 grill is part of the hood?

If not, use swivel joints/extensions...

You might have to shave some of the socket area out to put in the harness.

You should not have to remove any hoses or move the radiator to get to the bolts, at least I didn't. A couple of them are hard to get to but it's no need to remove anything.

For the parking light, are you refering to the small bulb that is next to the headlight on the cefiro's? That one is calle the "city light" and the stock bulb wont' go in there.

The city light is not a big deal, I don't even use mine. As far as adjustment, if turning the screw does not work I don't know what to do. Is the side to side working?

Well the elongated phillips screw is what I thought adjusted it, doesnt seem to be doing anything when it is operated, unless the other screw, near the fender in the design of the headlight, adjusts, my headlights are hopeless, light output seems to be quite scattered now anyways:/

There are 2 adjustment screws... The headlight itself doesn't move (unlike the US models); the reflector assembly inside moves... you will see it as you adjust it. I believe the vertical adjustment one is the outboard ones.

Swap your city light bulbs to see if one of the bulbs is bad. I have mine set so it goes on with the parking lights but goes off when my HIDs go on.

Light pattern with the H4 bulbs should be very good... Are your lights "stamped" with Nissan on the front?!?
