check out the FAQS, Nissan has a way to secure them, and there is something called data dots that secures them. both make it harder to steal the lights, but they still get taken. usually theives just pry the headlight out or pry the hood up. its the ballast and the bulb they want. if you want, a very sensitive alarm or something may scare them off, but the only way to prevent them indefinitley is to get the 2000-2001 headlights, non HID.
