Car: 2013 Altima Coupe

Post

Last week I sold my mustang, and purchased my first nissan. I am wanting to do some light modifications on it, but am really clueless as far as nissans go. I purchased a 2013 coupe, but when looking for head lights I really wasn't coming up with anything, when I realized the 2010-2012 headlights look the same as mine, so this might be a silly question, but I am wondering if I purchase headlights made for a 2012 coupe will they fit my 2013 coupe model? Thanks!

Also, I am looking for headlights similar to these

any recommendations on where to buy?

Hi there,

From the looks of it, it is the same headlight. You can confirm this by using a Nissan OEM parts site and comparing the part numbers for the headlight assembly between the two years.

As for the headlight you show above, that is a custom job and needs to be done by a retrofitter (unless you're handy) such as 180* Customs, etc. TheRetrofitSource.com has a bunch of shops on their page that have done work using their parts, etc...might want to reach out to some of them.

Enjoy the new car!

Altimas from 2010-2013 have all the same body pieces and i'm pretty sure all the same mechanics. I have a '13 coupes and i search 2010 parts because nothing is made specifically for the 2013. Hope this helps!

Oracle sells a kit for the AC coupe and it's pretty awesome it's not a full assembly it requires you to take apart your headlight and install the led halo inside of the actual headlight with epoxy. It takes some extra skill and time and will require you to rewire some stuff. But halos are not offered for our car so what do we do haha. I'm about to upgrade soon and I am going to do it myself with help from a buddy that is quite good at wiring and my dad who is also very good at wiring. So if you don't want to spend 600 on installation fees from a shop get yourself a friend that knows a thing or two about wiring and circuits and have them teach you... do some research on the Oracle halos
