I love how the 350's and all that have the 194 bulb in the headlight so it lights us the hosuing without giving off light. So i did this myself ot my OEM headlights. here are the pics.







The how to is here...Click here to go to the HOW TO

 

damn dustin, looks nice!

 

Niccceee....ive been waiting for a write-up for this, i definetly wanna do this sometime.

 

do you guys really need a write up?




looks cool though

 

yo we have a lot of inovative people on the 4th gen forum, great modification, i love it.

 

that was really creative... nice job..

 

looks very nice... wish the little harness came in chrome though.

 

That looks really cool.
Thanks for sharing.

 

that was really creative ... are you serious city lights have been around for 10 years. they are nothing new. how hard is it to drill o hole in your headlight and add power and ground. i had them when i was doin truck shows with strobe light.. they are nice. but its nothing new

 

reminds me of this

 

Good job. I would try blue 168/194 leds, I think that would look hot.

 

i kn ow they are nothing new but i never saw them on a maxima before.

 

I think it looks great dude... Nice work!!

 

Great Job, and btw the aftermarket cefiro headlights come with a city light already in them. i dont use them, but maybe i will.

 

beautiful work Dustin!!

Nice work, they look good but City lights have been around for some time, 3rd gens have had them for a while (overseas that is)

oh...and with regrads to the modification, make sure (those going to try/do this) u put the hole in the bottom of the headlight...to avoid any potential moisture issues, secondly keep in mind that this modification may keep you from passing inspection as blue lights up front are illegal.

enjoi

 

in the write up it says put the hole in the underside and i am lucky....i do not have inspections, and they are hyper whites up front. Yea i know the cefiro headlight have the city light...that is why i did it cause i saw them and like it.

 

How bad white plastic housing of 194 bulb sticks out. Do you have any pictures up close?

Oh, and A+ on the effort!

 

Beautiful job. I thought about using LED's. Oh it looks soo good! yum

 

looks nice, thats the same way I added strobes to my bumper lamps and corner lamps.

I would have painted the harness black tho, or maybe not had it in that far.


As far as using LEDs, it seems he wanted the same hyperwhite color as his fog lights, hyperwhite LEDs are much more purple than hyperwhite bulbs.

Dark blue might look pretty hot too.



I looks SWEET at night!

 

i was going to do led's. but with the heat of headlight i though that maybe the led woudl melt or warp the bulb. I might be wrong though. Also leds only produce light in a beam or if you scrtch it up it makes it alittle better, but i wanted to to shine thoughout the headlight and give light off in all directions, so it would light up more.

the harness is not as noticeable as it shows in the pictures. It is noticable, but it does not stand out like that.

 

I was thinking about doing this with a couple of white LEDs in a line along the bottom of the housing during the summer, but I never got around to it. I was planning on using some wide angle 5mm and aiming them towards the back of the housing to get the most even distribution of light. The thought of drilling pin holes seemed tedious at the very least and I just couldn't have my car out of comission incase something was taking longer than expected.

 

The 2nd gen maximas had them. They probably werent like that but we have them

 

nice mod but personally i like the way my cefiros look ..

NIGHT



DAY

 

Have you guys thought about using those mirror bulbs instead of the blue colored one? The mirror ones would blend in more and still light up blue. I might try this out on my altima and see if I like it

 

Looks ok but what exactly is the point of these?

 

ManualMax what BRAND of bulbs do you have on ur CORNER and BUMPER LIGHTS... it's a NICE orange color!

Do you have the AE mod?

 

in the corners i have just generic amber bulbs from any auto parts store. just do nto get the orange ones....get the amber ones....and in the side markers i have amber 194 led's

i have the ae mod and smoked corners...that is why the color is like it is.

 

LED is a good idea. They are small so they won't be as noticible.

 

What bulbs or LEDs would need to be used to fit the City Lights. Curious because I just got a set of One-Pieces with them built in but got no bulbs. I'd like to have just nice crystal white, no yellowish light. Thanks.

 

looks good, my car has DRL so it looks that way without the city lights

 

very nice work dude it looks awesome ill deff be doing this mod in the future great idea

 

I just used a hyper white 194 bulb....they are white

 

looks really nice Dustin...come to cali and make my car all nice for me, please?
