Aftermarket lights that don't use the OEM lighting is the dumb I'm referring to. And yes James, if your lenses are just oxidized or just f*cked, you should be able to just move the newer lens to the old headlight assembly. Did that on some tails on my maxima long ago. The housing has to be the same shape to fit with the body lines.

Yea i got ya, these were originally designed for the non HID early sedans...much cheaper route, i could get my oem lenses clear but when you turn the lights on they look like hell shining through. I sold my lowering springs and picked them up, good trade off

Many non HID headlight housings these days have a nice cut off making it OK for HIDs, but I understand your point. And I'm always an *******. A shitty day at work doesn't help

i was looking at getting new tires on my enkeis but the guy stretched 245 40 18 on all four. i really want to run a 295 in the back and keep one set of the 245 that is good on the front so that later ill put 275 up front. i dont know if that difference is really going to be noticeable its just the 275 are the same price as 295 so why not? i know different sizes affect the height so would like to know if its going to be nosediving in the front.

no need to get more than 275 in the back while N/A it will just slow you down and empty your wallets faster.

you are going to need 315 if you ever get that engine swapped.
