2002 Headlight Help

I just got a 2002 Maxima. Beautiful shape once I put the bumper back on. Now all I need is a passenger side headlightl OEM is over $1300. That's just about what I paid for the car. Any suggestions for a newbie on where to look? Best I've found is $ 200+ on ebay. There have to be better deals around.

You can check the classifieds on this forum. These headlights are expensive. If you want the OEM HID headlights you are going to have to pay for them. You could always find a set of 2000-2001 headlights and rewire to use those. They use standard halogen bulbs and would be much cheaper. Try junkyards and see what you can find. $200 for OEM is actually a great deal.

what is wrong with the current pass headlight?

If it's damaged, look for a used OEM headlight from classifieds, ebay, or junk yard. Aftermarket headlights cannot touch the performance of OEM.

If the lens is just cloudy/hazy/milky looking, you can repair it a lens repair kit. They usually sell for around $20.

I have a brand new pair of headlamps for sale, not OEM, but look just as good.
