^^ Agreed. Definitely 06+ stock lights. They are gorgeous, and with the sti lens, black housing, they look very, very nice.

Can you not grab some polishing compound ans just buff out the fog?

Or take it to a body shop and they'll buff them and reclear them.

check out the depo 06+ hid setup. rougly $375 a piece, oem fit and finish, and hundreds less than a true nissan set. they are oem quality, and are identical to the oem 06+ and come complete with ballasts, bulbs, etc. having personally worked on a few of these myself (sti lenses, blackouts, halo, etc) they are built to exact oem specs.

Man wet sand those headlights with 2k and buff it out with some medium cut compound they will look new.

the 06+ headlights are a very good choice too might as well get the tail lights too
