Cool

Like, the tabs that hold the entire headlight housings to the car?

Well... You could plastic weld them back on. You could clean / scuff the plastic up and glass/epoxy them back together too.

I know the 2gen ES projector headlights look awesome, but trying to rip them right off your car?....now that ain't right!

Hope you're able to get them fixed up.

Seriously. Thank god it wasn't a Maxima/Infinity. They had MAJOR problems with their HID lights being pryed out with a simply pry bar. They had to do a recall to install little protector plates on anyone that wanted to have them installed.


Atleast you've got the lights.


Take the lights out real easy like & show us how they are.

Someone probably thought, "Oh man, I gotta get these cleared lights, and I can't find them anywhere"... and tried to jack them. Or either that, steal em and sell em.
