Ebay foglight housings

So I have one broken (and siliconed) housing and one that has the top bolt snapped off (it's a little loose and jiggles)

New from Nissan is $180, ebay housings are $120

I have HID's on the way....someone tell me the Ebay are decent quality and I can skip the stupid Nissan prices.

Yea, I know, but I'm really really cheap....1/3 cheaper is ok if the quality is about the same. I'll pay good money for something, but I'm really opposed to wasting money just because it says Nissan on it.

good luck, make sure you get 02-03 fogs, allot of them are supposed to be for 00-01 cars and yes there is a difference.

at least if it's from nissan, it'd last longer than ebay?

The eBay fog housings are decent, at least for the 02/03, i can't speak for other generations.

Lenses on my two previous OEM sets broke or cracked within a few weeks (the 2nd set in a few days).

My eBay set although now cracked, took several months.

If you do get the eBay set, Matt "Moodym" suggests checking the polarity of the wiring since it's reversed on some of them. If you don't fix it, your HID retrofit won't work.
