Well, I directed civicsi to this page:

http://faqlight.carpassion.info/special-topics.htm

But like the one you have pictured is the newest version of the maxima, and as you can see has an HID projector in the bottom. I had the previous years headlights which used a reflector. If you get HID's out of an OEM headlight housing (which I would reccomend, for reliability) like I did, you need to make some sort of adapter so it will fit into your headlights. I just cut the base off of an H4 bulb and glued it all together. I would post up pics from my for sale thread before, but unfortunately none of them work. Let me know if you need anything else....

BTW, I never even removed the headlights from my car to do any of it.

I'm talking about the part that goes around the actual bulb, I wish I still had pics, they were on my old computer which has long shitted out... I sold them to username Stan on here, try pming him, possibly he took pictures of them before he installed them, I have no idea if he still has them though... Like that site says, I would reccomend going to shucks and getting two little cans of touch up paint and cut them up and JB weld them to the light and make a cut in it like specified in the site. They actually looked pretty damn good once I got them aligned right, I never got flashed and never got pulled over in the month I had them in my car. There was a little bit of scatter, but for the most part it was very good output.

Projectors make the beam more defined. Make your own projectors and be original (kinda) and get some junkyard cars projectors then fit them in your headlight assembly. ftl
