Yes, I30 aftermarket parts will fit your Maxima in the same year range aside from body parts(the headlights are the same but tail lights and ect are not). Hope this answers your question

^ I don't believe that that is true. I would be weary about that. They may look the same but fitment might be different.

Fitment is, in fact slightly different. If you attempt to put I30 headlights on a MAxima, you will be left with a small gap on the bottom corner of the corner light.

Youll also have to slightly modify the back housing so it sits into the frame.

If your looking for headlights, just go with the R34 look... they sell for 180shipped on ebay, and you can find some thatinclude the clear or smoke corners. But I've also heard that the light emitted from the R34 headlights are very scattered... but they do make a real good candidate for projector retrofits.

Aftermarket headlights (for example 'Nismo' one piece clear or black units) should fit i30's exactly but small modifications will be required for maxima's.

Sorry not 'Nismo' headlights, I meant 'Cefiro'. I'm not sure if you can find a manufacturer selling them anymore, a few years ago when I first purchased my I30 I looked into one-piece headlight assemblies and found a company that sold them online. When I went to buy the part a few months later I couldn't find that or any other company that sold them. Ebay will sometimes have the part if you're willing to pay their price. You might check around the Nicoclub website and see if anyone is selling some if you're looking to buy a set.
