I just got the headlights from A1. They not OEM Nissan, they are DEPO. With that being said, they look just like the stock oem headlights. I'm not sure if I should keep these or send them back and get the ones from Ebay that are actually stock Nissan.

What do you guys think?

Here are some pics:

I paid $769. I'll be returning these and getting the oem Nissan ones from Ebay.

Rouse, did you end up having to buy a separate HID kit or did it come with one? Any pictures of the headlights yet?

i paid that price with an aftermarket hid kit but i ended up not using the aftermarket one and just using my stock ones because i didn't know i had a stock one until i tok off my headlights lol. and yes i will get pics up when it stops raining here in the sf bay area. so if you need an after market hid kit lmk I'm selling it

I bought a set of OEM 06+ Headlights with harness, ballasts, and bulbs for $825 shipped in excellent condition. I would return and spend $60 more and get a legit set.

I want to order this since my headlight are ****ed up from years of parking outside under direct sunlight. But i think OEM should be the best. You should get it from nissan courtesyparts.com I am planing on pulling the trigger but still waiting for a better deal.

It is plug and play unless you have a base model. just snip the BLUE wire that goes into the turn signal so the DRLs are not on
