$th Gen to 5th Gen Headlight Conversion


If anyone can see that pic. How do you do that? . .
I havent found any how2 sections online. Is it a custom job?
Anything need to be cut/shaved? And what about the HID? how do you hook that up?
It looks really sick and i think it would look even better on a black max

Those are R34 Skyline headlights, and you'll need a lot of custom work to get them to fit on a Maxima.

Sure they are R34s?

Ok if those are R-34s then just theoretically how could i fit a pair of 5th gen headlights onto my max?
I found a pair for sale for 50$ and want to know if i can install them on my max directly.

Same way these where put in....Why didnt you ask me what it was, I coulda told ya, even though its not my car...

Just test fit the light first, then preshape the fender, bumper and hood to fit the light in....then just have someone drill out the measured cuts then stick them in, try and mold them if you can..and you have 5th gen lights...

The HIDS, just install them as you would any other car and your set.., $50/pair for 2k2 headlights, they must be severly damaged.

BTW, for the 5th time, thats R34 Skyline headlights...

Over a grand easily. its a lot of custom cutting and molding.. most likely some repainting, and the new headlights plus aftermarket HID's is easily $600+

Was done by motorex, a fully R33 conversion of a max. Looked really ugly but maybe you can make it better?
