Default Need help, is this aftermarket?

I found these lights on ebay, it says they are from a 04 ZR, only thing that worries me is that they say Kotto on them, the ebay seller also said that they have Nissan imprinted on the back as well though. What do you guys think?

I know they "look" oem, but so do the aftermarket ones, I just don't wanna spend over $100 and end up with crappy headlights

By the "looks OEM" comments, we mean that replicas won't have all the markings/decals, etc. that this one does. Its' also apparent that this is a used light (slight marks on the lens), which if it was an aftermarket one, it'd prob be new. Only aftermarket ones I've really seen are the black ones on Ebay. You'll be using your wiring harness and bulb with this as well, so minimal worries. What happened that you need to replace yours?

They look OEM to me too and I've handled many of these. They're also used.



You are bidding on one (1) 2003 - 05 NISSAN 350Z RIGHT HEADLIGHT HEADLAMP XENON. The seller is the original owner or this item. The seller of these replaced their 2004 350ZC roadster headlamps with 2006 version, so he doesn't need this anymore. The headlamp or car has not been in any accidents. It was removed at a Nissan dealership. It was working prior to being removed so we assume it should still function fine.
