Description
About These Headlights
The 2015 Nissan Altima sedan was offered in S, SV, SL, and SR trims, each available with one of two distinct headlight types. The S and SV trims came with halogen reflector headlights, identifiable by the gold-tinted reflector bowl visible through the clear lens and the absence of LED daytime running lights. The SL and SR trims came with LED projector headlights, identifiable by the LED daytime running ring around a projector lens for low beam. Both styles fit the 2013 to 2015 Altima sedan only, not the coupe (which uses different sheetmetal and headlight shape) and not the 2016 onward refreshed Altima (which has redesigned V-motion grille and headlight units).
Replacement headlights become necessary after impact damage, internal lens fogging from compromised seal, broken mounting tabs, or yellowing of the polycarbonate lens to the point of failed inspection. A clean used OEM unit gives Altima owners the exact factory-shape replacement at a fraction of the dealer parts price.
Common Reasons to Replace 2015 Altima Headlights
- Front-end collision damage, broken mounting tabs or cracked housing
- Internal moisture or fogging that does not clear, failed seal
- Heavy lens yellowing that is too far gone for restoration polishing
- Failed bulb that takes the assembly with it (rare, but possible if water entered)
- DOT inspection failure due to compromised lens or aim
- Restoring an older car with collision damage to factory cosmetic spec
Things to Confirm Before Ordering
- Driver side or passenger side (or both)
- Halogen or LED projector type, the two are not visually interchangeable
- Trim level of your specific Altima
- Year (2013, 2014, or 2015 should all match L33 pre-facelift, but call to confirm)

Additional information
| application | 2013 to 2015 Nissan Altima Sedan (L33) |
|---|---|
| sides-available | Driver (left), Passenger (right) |
| bulb-types | Halogen reflector (S, SR), SV) or LED projector (SL |
| lens-material | Polycarbonate, UV-coated |
| housing | Black plastic with chrome reflector |
| connector | OEM Nissan plug-and-play |
| dot-compliance | DOT-stamped, US street legal |

The S and SV trims use halogen reflector headlights with a gold-tinted reflector bowl visible through the clear lens and no LED daytime running lights. The SL and SR trims use LED projector headlights with an LED daytime running ring around a projector lens for low beam. The two types are visually distinct and not interchangeable as a pair without an obvious appearance mismatch.
Yes, within the same trim type. The 2013 to 2015 Altima sedan (L33 chassis) uses the same headlight housing across the three model years within each trim category. A 2015 SL LED projector headlight fits a 2013 SL. A 2014 S halogen headlight fits a 2015 S. Trim type must match, not year.
No. The 2013 to 2015 Altima coupe uses different sheetmetal and a different headlight shape than the sedan. The sedan headlights will not fit the coupe and vice versa.
No. Nissan refreshed the Altima for the 2016 model year with a redesigned V-motion grille and completely different headlight units. The 2013 to 2015 headlights do not fit the 2016 to 2018 Altima.
Mechanically yes, but practically no. The two types are visually distinct, and a mismatched pair produces an obviously asymmetric front-end appearance that may fail visual inspection in many states. Always replace in matched pairs when possible.
Bulbs are included where present in the donor unit. Many donor headlights arrive with original bulbs still installed; some arrive without bulbs. Plan to replace bulbs at installation regardless, since bulbs age along with the assembly.
Usually not. The headlight wiring harness is part of the vehicle, not the headlight assembly. The replacement headlight plugs into the existing harness. The exception is when the original harness was damaged in the same collision that damaged the headlight; in that case, the harness needs separate repair or replacement.
No. There is no core return required.

Sourced a halogen driver-side headlight for a 2015 Altima S. Halogen reflector type correctly identified for the trim, mounting tabs verified intact, minor curb-side wear disclosed up front with photos. Fair price, honest condition reporting.
