when i first got mine they started to seperate. but they stopped and havent seperated any more since then. they dont leak or anything. i guess this heat just melted the glue or something. but other than that they're fine. when you get them you might want to put some super glue on it then it'll definitly stay together.

mine seperated where the orange is on the oem lenses. that seems to be the common part to seperate. yours may not seperate though so in that case there really wouldnt be a need to do it unless done as a preventative measure. i dont know about selling the oem lenses. i kept mine just in case i needed them down the line or something.

That's the same place where mine separated. I havent had any more problems with them either. I didnt apply super glue or anything to them yet, only because it didnt' separate so bad I get water in them...and I kept my OEM's like James just in case I need them down the road. What if one breaks or cracks?? Then you have a replacement.

i havent had any problems with mine separating like the others have. although, i dont have the courtesy nissan ones. mine are APC. i got them from http://www.coolwheels.com and they are overpriced. water gets in them, which doesnt really bother anything cuz it doesnt fill up with water. the water comes out rather quickly. also they do not hold in place as securely as the OEM. i also was gonna sell my oem lenses, but after i saw the poor quality of the clear ones i decided to hold onto them.
