OEM Headlight help!?
Wait, thats current in your car or this is another picture at a different angle of the same headlight you originally posted that was removed from your car? Does it have "Nissan" embossed at the bottom of the face of the clear cover?
That's the left OEM Koito/Nissan headlight (the lighting was better on that side when I took the pic) - it came with the car from new. The right one on my car was replaced in '12, but it looks the same and is OEM Koito/Nissan. I've never had a DEPO headlight on my car, although there is a huge thread on this site about them you may want to search for.
I have an 07 and it does have the yellow plastic piece over the turn signal.
From what I have read in the Depo thread the paint is not as thick and light bleeds through the silver shroud on the projector housing. That might be something to check and a way to tell them it is not an equal replacement.

I noticed yesterday when I looked at my lights they were due for a polish, so now that's done, and I just shot another closeup for you. This is under a partly cloudy sky, with a very good camera (white balance set properly), so I think it represents the actual color very well:

I guess you can see the very slightest tint of yellow, but if you've got orange bulbs in place, they would have much more effect on that than the LEDs I have in mine.
