Default S14 Zenki Question...

So some of you guys know I got rid of my S-Chassis a little while ago. I did so for financial reasons. Very sad.

Anyways, I was just doing some work/cleaning on my new car, a 1997 Maxima, when something caught my eye. I don't know why I never thought of it before, but the 4th generation Maxima headlights look VERY similar to the Zenki headlights.

So here is my question. Has anyone ever tried to bolt up the 97-99 Maxima headlights (with clear lenses) to a S14 Zenki? I know there are a few companies that make clear lenses for the Zenki housings, but these Maxima headlights are floating around dirt cheat.

Just a thought guys. Don't cut my head off lol.

That picture is of a 1997 Maxima Headlight. The PAIR is selling for $50. edit- SHIPPED!


I know that people bolt up R33 headlights, and the fitment isn't great. But IMO these look much more similar to the OEM Zenki lamps... Any input would be welcomed!

I keep telling myself to bring a zenki headlight to the junk yard to see if there is any car I could retrofit a better headlight from. I forget everytime.

I doubt it would be a perfect fit, but I'm sure it would work good "enough"

Well definitely better than R33 etc. I was thinking that it might even be possible to put the actual Maxima lenses on some S14 Zenki housings.

I need some parts for my Maxima. What year is it, and what color. I could trade him some of my parts plus cash for his better condition parts.... Shoot me an e-mail at wtylerjeter@gmail.com Thanks!!!!
