Cefiro Headlight Question

Ive done searching and come up with that an installation of Cefiros requires some cutting and slight body modification... For those of you who have done it what kind of modding are we talking about? anything major? are there any other kinds of aftermarket headlights that dont require such modding? And lastly, do headlights like the ones here or here require any mod? Thanks!

Not sure on the extent of cefiro modding. I know it requires modifying the fender to sit with the line of the cefiro/to make them fit. Also something in the radiator support or a bracket has to be cut. Search and Im sure its there.

The R34s you posted dont require modding. However, dont waste your time unless you do a retrofit with them.

I'm not sure about the Cefiros, but its a PITA just for some headlights. The R-34s don't need any modification, but the light output is terrible. A retrofit would do the R-34s justice, but if your not gonna do that just stay stock.

No flammage.

you do have to do some cutting to the fender support.. also re drilling the headlight support holes so they fit better.. the cefiros are longer and fatter, thats why they riquire some cutting.. you will be doing damage to your car that cannot be undone so please be aware of what you are getting yourself into.. but everyone is right if you do either mod you should do a retro with either headlight..

You can remount the stock headlights if you install cefiro's. You just won't have that extra support on the fender. I'm currently running my stockers.
