i just ordered and recieved a set of crome halo lights for my 98 Sentra SE, I was happy to get them although when i came to putting them in i started to have my doubts. I dont know why but the set up of the halo light are totally different then the factory lights. i had to do some cutting on the lights, and some on the car as well as going to home depot to find some screws to tighten the sides of the lights in where the corner lights go. It took me 3 hours to get the lights to fit properly but i got it done, i had no problem hookin up the halo but the wire harness was a different story, i got everything hooked up but the last male plug,needless to say i had the go to advanced auto parts to get a universal female plug for the headlights, in case anybody doesn't know, the way to connect the female plug to the factory wires is black to black, red to red with black, and yellow the red and yellow, this makes the outer light turn on when you turn on your lights and both turn on when you turn on the highbeams, just thought i would let you all know because i spent a good half hour trying to figure it out and this could save you the trouble, but all in all the install was a success and i love the way they look, the only thing i noticed is that the inner corner of the light slightly sticks out, but not enough to be an eye sore, total install time with all the cutting and running around to find parts was about 6 hours. Next on my list is the extreme body kit, unless i find one that i think looks better.
thank you for your directions as i plan on getting some too... would you happen to have pics of what you're doing? lol im clueless on this stuff. thanks

You know there is a easier way to do the wiring? You don't have to replace your harness with the one they gave you.. check out his forum HERE
I don't got halos but I've got crystal clear ones, Of course cutting some tin at the car is normal (grill mount now it's in the headlights) but I've never heard "cutting on the lights" ¿Why? I just use a Dremel with several cutting disc, a dive into screws' box and they fit completely
Anyway, I envy you 'cause I can't get halos (customs sucks & import taxes xtra-sucks)
The even easier way than the above link is to do away with the OEM connector style altogether and just get some crimp connectors. No futzing with lightbulb bases that way.

sorry but i dont have any pics of the process i used to make them fit, but it i was fairly simple after i figured out one side, here is a pic of the final result

by the way are they brighter than the stock headlights , i mean can you see the road better than with the stock ones? cause i heard that they make visibility worse ...

they are slightly brighter than stock because they use h1 and h3 bulbs.
and you heard correct the beam pattern of the halos are terrible.. they shoot light everywhere and not always on the road. i recommend that if you do halos do some kind of projector lense fitted into it for a better light usage.
i reccomend not going witht the xtreme kit. keep looking, there are much better kits for the b-14......and then i saw your picture. that buper looks pretty damn good already! nice job. id keep it kitless for now.
its true that the light is beamed everywhere but with some adjustments on the back of the housings they work really good, and the brights on the halos are crazy,i could probably blind somebody with those things. Thanks for the compliments everybody, it feels good to hear that after everything is finished,espically when i did it having no idea what i was doing. Kind of one of those learn as you go type things for me.
