My headlamps need to be replaced as they are cloudy. Tried to clean them but frustrated with that. I found a pair of OE non-HID assembly's however I do not know if I should order HID or non-HID, nor what the difference is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :gotme

Not be be a d!ck but your in the wrong section. This is altima coupe not 3rd Gen. Altima. So Im not sure any of us will be of help to you but since you are new Ill take it as an honest mistake. I made a few of them when I first got on. But go to the main page, look in top left hand corner (NICOclub Forums<Nissan Forums< Altima Forums) Then look for the 3rd gen (I think thats what you are). They should be able to help a little better than we can.
But I do no believe there is a difference.

They are different. The HID version has a different reflector for the D2R bulb. I'll move this thread to the Exterior and Lighting section. Please post in the correct location in the future.

Welcome to NICO! :)

Thanks and I will. I did post in the Coupe first but saw this and thought it would pertain as well. Thanks.
