I was debating the same thing and decided to go with the 2012 lights for the simple reason that I didn't want to be hassled by the police. This way they are 100% legit and look good too.

im in the same boat. i tinted mine but they faded back to stock...lol...VHT nightshades ftw i guess
im leaning towards the 2012 tails because like you guys said they're stock and darker anyway. they look better on the lighter colors though imo

Just a suggestion. I have applied Lamin-X film on a few of my vehicles with great results. Miht be a cheaper route for you. And you can choose the % tint you want to go with. I ussually go with just the tint because as you mentioned don't want to get hassled by the cops.

The other option is try E-Bay to buy the 2012 ones.

I find it funny that the people who already have the 2012 tail's post that they have them but none are saying what it cost them to get them ? Either way it may be a little tough to find one "used" and buying them brand new is going to $$$$ unless you go aftermarket (that is if they make them)

2012 tails fit perfectly in 2009 model?
I have an 09 and recently got rear ended and need to have the taillights replaced. I asked the body shop use the 12 tails and they said they would if they fit. He left a message saying they don't fit. I just want to confirm that they do line up perfectly with those that have done the swap.

That's good to know.. I talked to the parts guy at Nissan in my area they didn't even know if 12 would fit 09.. I was ready to just get tint film.. Thanks for the post.
