Quality of TYC tail lamp assembly

Thinking to change my 09 to 11 style to the late 7th gen tail light style.

Are these comparable to OEM Nissan tail lights?
These are CAPA certified if that makes any difference
Thanks

If you can find a set of used OEM lights do that first. If not, TYC or DEPO are decent options. I have used both brands before. They are nowhere near the same as OEM quality in anyway yet most wouldn't notice it.

Thanks.
Courtesy Nissan sells one side for $180 (vs $250+) at local dealers. Might go that route.
Thanks

+1. I only purchased the right side as the oem had filled up with water. It looks great. While I was back there, i also replaced all the incandescent marker bulbs with leds. Too many 7th gens running around with their marker lamps burnt out!

Thanks Maximus and Lt.
A question Lt.
I didn't open the stock lamp assembly yet, I read somewhere that 2009 lamps are not hold by 2 8mm nuts, is that true?

In all honesty, i really cant recall if it is 2 or 3 nuts (they arent bolts...i DO remember that) and 8mm or 10? Sorry my memory isnt what it used to be. But deep well socket is desirable. Do make sure you have a plastic rivet tool handy though as you will take a few of those out.
