So here are some better pictures showing the bracket and the corner of the lights. The lighting still was not that great.

Those do look nice, and they "seem" to fit the corners/openings just fine.

Am I correct int hat a bracket had to be fab'ed to attach/stabalize them?

You are correct. Even thou I did not do it I noticed that each bracket is slightly bent. I spoke to my body guy and he told me that the quarter panels did not need to be cut that much at all. I did not really get to talk with him hi is alway running. He was in a rush when I called him so I am going to call tonight or stop by the shop tomorrow.

It looks amazing to me that the headlights fit almost perfect, there is just more rounding in the fender needed...

consider this picture of my Qhttp://q45.spilky.com/Q/newcar.jpg (linked and not IMG'd because its a big picture)

compared tohttp://nissaninfiniticlub.net/...3.jpg

you can see how the stock Q is flatter around the back side ofthe cornering light, whereas this just needs a little more rounding, i bet if you were careful you could do it at home (not something id want to do... Id probably do this mod and just have hte entire front end painted.

Thx for fixing the links Wes. Any little smudges and what looks like scraches is just compound. I have not wiped down or washed the car yet.

i really need to get that maxima molding the weather striping at the bottom looks tacky.

They did a good job with the lights. Not perfect, but good enough. Enjoy them.

Thats a pretty good fit. Better than I thought. I can see that the lights would not work on 90-93 due to the inside corners being tapered to a point while the early G50's has a round shape. Well, maybe they could be made to fit but definately more work. Also the outside corners are more rounding on an early G-50... oh well.

I bet J30 lights would be easier to swap into a 90-93

Hmmm...I dunno man. The shapes are different from 90-93 vs 94-96. Take a look at these random photos I pulled from ebay. May not seem like much but it's a big difference when it comes time to fit headlights. The earlier Q's has no sharp corners whereas the later models have two. Brights side is that some cutting can be done to fit though. If it were the reverse, it would be much harder.

You see I know it wasn't hard to put together, because I saw it on a 92 body and there's know body work involved. Thank you for the pics.

Seriously dude, look around theres no reason to bring up a dead thread with no info when there is a live thread with all the info you need.
