Hello to all the Altima community!

First things first, I own a steel grey 05 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE (3.5L V6, Manual Trans) . Anyways, I noticed just yesterday that the driver side headlight appears opaque (i believe this is referred to as a foggy headlight) . With a closer inspection I found that there was a tiny fracture (half inch long) running vertically from the base of the assembly. Could this have allowed moisture to enter the assembly? Can i restore the light to its original beauty, or must I simply replace it? Assuming that replacing it is the only option, I've already done some browsing around online for possible vendors, narrowing it down to two that I liked. I'd like some advice as to which is the better vendor for me. Mainly, I'm concerned about which offers faster shipping, and secondly the better value. They are:

or

Anyone ever dealt with em? Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with either of those vendors so I can't vouch for the quality of their service. I can although, recommend one of our sponsors here on NICO. Check out courtesyparts.com

Good luck with the replacement!
