Cost of headlights?
I have a '98 SE and love it but a friend of mine informed me that the headlights for the 2k4 were very expensive to replace and are stolen quite often. She told me it was around $250/light and that thieves were taking them and selling them on EBAY. I just wanted to find out if there was some validity to this. Does anyone know off hand? Thanks!

I imagine that they are expensive, but I haven't heard anything about them being stolen. There are currently 0 of them for sale on Ebay, so I am guessing that your friend is hitting the pipe a bit hard
The lights aren't the easiest thing to steal.

Re: She may have confused it with the new Altima

and the Altima HIDs aren't theft targets because you CANNOT remove them without first removing the bumper...the lights are secured behind the bumper as well as from the top.
you're lookin at a good hour plus job

It't not worth the effort to try to steal Altima HIDs. There's almost no way to determine whether the lights are HID or not since not all models are equipped with them. They'd rather target a car that they can be 100% about.

HID theft
Acura 3.3TL's were having a huge theft Problem. Many Acuras are sitting in Dealers with $1,000's damage 'cause theives just tear up the bumbper/fenders/hoods to get to the lights.
The REAL cause of the theft temptation, was that they EXACTLY fit the Accord. And we all know how many Accords there are on the road.
I believe Honda/Acura changed that fit to make the Acura unique.
If all Maxima's had HID's, then the temptation would theoretically be lower.
