I know I've seen these actually installed on a coupe before. Where, I don't remember. Fitment seemed alright...but they still looked cheesy.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the fact that Nissan removed the lighted side strips from the '05 up headlights.

For what your going to pay?

What? $500-$600? That's crazy cheap for brand new OEM projectors. Of course, you could go to a dealership here in Canada and pay the $2,000 or so THEY want.. that's a different matter.

$500-600 versus $120 for a pair of TSX projectors (which have an amazing light output) + $200-ish for labor to have them retrofitted into your old headlights.

I don't see the comparison.

Maybe it's just because I'm not a huge fan of the 1.5gen headlights.

As far as I've seen, without a clear lense/cutoff mod, they really aren't that much more impressive than the standard reflectors that come on the 1st gen coupes.
