    Online auto parts suppliers

    I am in need of a headlight assembly for my Frontier.

    There are so many suppliers online I figured I`d just ask if anyone recommends any particular site or knows which one(s) to stay away from. Perhaps from previous experience.

    These stinking headlights are 170+ from a local auto parts store and under 100 online (and they appear to be the same to me at least)

    I was going to get the fancy Anzo halo lights but I keep reading too many bad reviews so I`m just gonna keep them stock and get better bulbs.

    Sadly I can`t find an amazon prime supplier with the factory looking headlights for my 06 frontier, just the halo ones..so I`m left searching the web.

    Re: Online auto parts suppliers

    I stumbled upon an amazon prime supplier with the driver side factory looking light .. I will try rock auto

    now I`m afraid if I replace just one light, even with polishing the other one down, its still gonna look strange

    rock auto has an easy to navigate site
    looks like you can even get -regular - economy- or CAPA certified from them ... I`m guessing CAPA certified is my best bet, now it makes me think that the amazon one I was gonna buy for 90 bux is probably not CAPA certified.
    I probably don`t need to be cheaping out on a headlight assembly.

    CourtesyParts | Genuine OEM Nissan Parts & Accessories

    That`s the place where I ordered my OEM stuff for me 2004 and 2007 Frontiers. Please stick with OEM headlights; the aftermarket stuff is just junk.

    They`re all really the same, I buy all of our aftermarket parts from Keystone/LKQ for the lifetime warranty.

    Re: Online auto parts suppliers

    I`ve done OK with RockAuto too, and the Keystone headlights I put on the previous Crown Vic were very good (lots of aftermarket headlights for those cars are lousy).

    512Detail- You might do OK replacing just the one light. My wife`s A8 has one that`s relatively new and the other has a hard ~160K on it, but I bet nobody but us ever notices the diff. To *me* it`s really obvious, but well..you know

    The aftermarket parts are not always the same as the factory. I have purchase aftermarket headlights for two vehicles now and both were different. One was better in terms of brightness but left off the lateral adjustment on factory and the other had a poorer light pattern.

    to be frank, this 06 frontier is no A8, lol

    I`m just hoping it fits and holds the bulbs I buy to put in it
