could people with R34 headlights on their 4th gens please post up some pictures?? thanks.

 

The pic in my sig is from when I had black housing R34's. Even though I know you've seen it already when you PM'd me.

 

Adam, if you get the blacked out bumper lights as well with the R34 ones, it will look sick!

 

thats what im plannin on doin. and then im gonna add a set of probably 7000-8000K hids in the low beams.

 

Visualize a CF hood on it then you will see what it looks like currently.

 

Here's one of many

 

Do you owners really like them or not?

once i get over the beam pattern i think they look nice.

 

They are not bad....I have the best sylvanias (sp) money can buy, and they are pretty decent. Spending to much money on performace or I would have some projectors by now.

 

these headlights are so ugly on most of the maximas.

 

i think they look sick especially with the blacked out bumper lights. as soon as i get my next paycheck, im buyin some of these and bumper lights.

mazzivart....do you have silverstar bulbs in the low beams??? could you take a picture of the beam pattern and post it in this thread for me?? thanks.

 

I liked the one piece look of them, the only reason I went back to OEM is because I like the cleared out look better than black on my car. Like already known the low beam output blows, but it was liveable.

 

Old retro pic, do not have pics of new retro. James you still gonna do that retro?

 

Let's see one where the HIDs are off.

 

yeah yeah okay, once again, old pic.

 

This is the best I have of it on hand....I can maybe get some pics later tonight....oh and these are the step above the silverstars...so they are much better.

 

ahh, i didnt even know they made a step above the silverstars.

 

I didnt either until I walked into Autozone and saw them on display...

 

What k would be best for those headlights.

 

4300K. Always.

Not bad, I see you're not a fan of bezels.

 

As are you.

Bah I spent hours...days...trying to find a good DIY bezel. Who needs bezels..!

 

I used my reflector housing as a bezel.

 

Can you get 4300k yellow ? Like the way they look on fogs ?

 

Not really, unless you use FX projectors.

If you want a yellow color go for 3000K. But if you're using HID projectors the only way to go is 4300/4100K IMO.

 

Im not going to put projectors on the R34. Thats why i asked which k would give better light.

 

The R34 lights look hella good on MOST 4th gens when the lights are OFF. Once you turn them on you see the horrendous light output.. I wanted them til Al got them on his ride and I was able to check them out locally..
I'll keep my modified 99 housings with HIDs.. I like them PLUS I can see!!

Did he have them with hid's ?

 

Holy crap, please do NOT do this. The R34's beam pattern is ATROCIOUS and you will be blinding everyone on the road, not to mention still outputting light horribly.

 

Is that i dont know about projectors. And i have read about them but i still dont understand.

 

You will actually be degrading your light output if you go from stock '97 housings to R34-style housings. The light will be very uneven and not very usable. If you put projectors into the R34 housings, though, you can modify the light output considerably.

heres mine...

 

Saw a 4th gen around town with them on. My fiance likes them. I like them but its just that beam pattern ordeal.
