Well just recieved cefiro one peice headlight and TSX projectors, and I got to work and here are the results. Lenses are still separated, I just put in on there to see how it would look. Tell me what you guys think

 

id like to see some beam patten pics please? did you bend the shields too?

 

funny thing is I don't have the D2S HIDs yet.
just the projectors retrofitted lol.
I also need to get some bezel and shroud to put on there.
time to search on hidplanet.com

 

looks good, id say full AE mod would look best...

 

So far so good...take some better pics of the rear of the housing. Also pics of how you secured them. Definately get a shroud for them but I say stay with the current housing...don't paint them..unless you have the blacked out ones...imo

 

the AE mod would look pretty good

 

It's secured by two bolts. I'll be JB welding it, so I think two bolts are enough.


I did not bend the shield.
hmmmm does bending shield give more colors in the light output?

 

nice porcelain telephone!

oh I mean the lights look nice. I'd keep them chrome, add a bezel and install .

 

I don't know about you guys but normally anything going on my car stays as far away from the toilet as it can.

 

I thought tsx projectors were bi-xenon?

 

xenon I believe TSX has halogen high beam?
TL has bixenon I think.

mgiht i reccomend putting in an aux light.. i wanted to do this to the ciefro light.. but.. was too broke to buy the ciefro.. so i did to stock headlight

 

looks good buy why you putting them together on the toilet.. is that where you do your best work..

 

about the toilet thing...
on the first picture, you can see there's huge glare on the headlamp, so I went in to the bathroom to avoid glare.
I don't know why you guys think i did the work in the bathroom

 

I believe someone said that an accord headlight can fit into a 4th generation maximas, but u gotta trim it a bit, to fit it in nicely... can someone elaborate on that for me plz? plz send a private message... thanx a lot

 

you know what i think john?....i think you should get a new camera first. =)
hows the exhaust by the way?

 

sup peter!
i have a camera but I lost battery charging cable so it's a $500 paper weight until I buy the charging cable.
and the exhaust...I'm loving it everytime I go out for a drive
and remember I'm still waiting for you to pick up the stock corner lights.

 

I hate you Homer...

Seriously, ...LoL j/k

By the way, nice job on the TSX Projector installation. I needa do this to my Cefiros ASAP. Well, when it starts to get nice out.

 

i like!!!.... the person with the idea of an aux. light sounds good - and his sig makes the idea look decent.

 

What does the Aux light look like?... I've never heard of.

Also your mod looks might sweet bro (maxima8624), good job on it, very original!

 

Aux light.. = Auxillary Lighting.... u know its secondray... hehhe.. i dont know how else.... i can put it...

well since he has non BiXenon.. he looses highbeam.. = ( not good.. when that *** in the 3.2TL cuts u off thinking hes the hot ****t.. but wait.. with teh Aux light ehhh.. i mean AUXILLARY light.. (which can be any round fog light or even a square shaped light that u can cram and aim in the headlgiht enclosure...) u can use it as highbeam..

just aim the FOG light which is now the AUX light really HIGH... thus we have HIGH BEAM and using good bulb... we can get behind him.. highbeam him.. then if ur car is black like mine. then let him get ahead a bit...

. i shut off projectors.. and have a my auxlight aimed low to light the road inf ront of me...

start to speed up come in fast once the TL is up ahead a bit... pull up behind him.. hit the highbeam/projector... pull up next to him for a microsecond.... cutt off supersharp.. gunn it... on northern state... comming from stonybrook... hmm.. toomuch detail..


i have bixenon so i have the aux light wirered and aimed lower jsut usign them as daytime running lights (wired to a ignition activated fuse).. and at night they can work as lighting incase the projectos ever fail.. so u dont get a ticket either.. or just for kicks.. also it helps in rain.. cause the xenon light isnt the greatest in rain.. cause the white light doesnt spread in rain wella s the yellow..


sorry i have deeep deep rooted anger toward TLs... most people i hate end up with Tls.. there my sworn enemies... (i sound like a freakin comic book hero) thats how i knew the nissan was my destined car......

 

yeah fur sure. what are you doing this sunday lets say around 2-3pm?

 

is it too late to find bi-xenon projectors..? no other reason to install regular hid projectors if they are not Bi-xenons...IMO

 

Just curious, can't you just install regular projectors, which are not Bi-Xenon and use a Hi/Lo H4 Kit to get High/Lo Beam and still have that nice cut off line, etc.?

 

Those look nice...I wanna see what they look like when you put those d2s bulbs in there. What kind of ballast are you planning on getting for these?

I think that xenon kits with projectors won't look so good. Plus I don't think there would be enough light coming out of projectors from those kits.

 

Thanks. Ok so if I was to retrofit projectors into my Cefiros, I would no longer be able to use the H4's...understood. So, rather I'd have to use the D2S or D2R bulbs? All I know is Stock/Cefiro we can use 9004/H4, but I don't really have the slightest clue about the D2S/D2R bulbs nor what Projectors use/require...

I wish I had the patience and time to retrofit my Cefiros. It looks so beautiful, especially with 2 lights like Homer's...

 

D2S is the for projected HIDs and D2Rs are for HID reflector lights such as TL headlights. D2R has a shield on the bottom of the bulb I believe to avoid give glares to other drivers.

I was going to get E55 bixenon projectors but I got deal on TSX projectors which I got it for 120 shipped. TSX projectors usually go $200+ on hidplanet and ebay. And I rarely use highbeams so I just got xenons and got away with more wiring. and if i got E55 bixenon projectors, I don't know how I'm going to fit it in the cefiro headlights. I guess actual Cefiro headlamps are thinner than stock maxima headlights I don't know how I'm going to fit a bezel in there.

 

I probably delivering flowers to the ladies
cuz I work at a flowershop during some special days

 

You lucky man. I'd tell all the ladies it was from me and throw away the guys card. Oh, and of course leave my number embedded in one of the flower pedals.

 

tight, I would black it all out

 

I dig what you're saying...

 

I would have done the same, but after using bi-xenon projectors, i dont know what id do w/o high beams. Good choice though, TSX projectors have a lot of color. You should have fun with that.

 

yea the h4 hi low thing doesnt work.. cause projectors dont get high low by bulb.. intensity ....the shield int eh projector as a section that moves via(bmw ones ) solnoid..

and what less wiring.. i mean its pretty simple.. u run regular low beamto porjector... then high beam to soloniod.. and then diiode going form high beam to low beam... thus when highbeam is hit and low it cut the diode alllows the current to flow in driection of projector bulb when hihg beam is hit and not allowing power to go to shield when the low is on.

 

New pix with AE mod on Cefiro


I'm getting HIDs in next week, and i'll post beam patter pix as soon as i get the light installed on the car
