Description

About 2013 Nissan Altima Headlights

The 2013 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 (L33 chassis) 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).

2013 Nissan Altima Headlight Assembly Replacement is Common Past 8 Years

Most 2013 Altima headlight replacement orders are triggered by: front-end collision damage breaking a mounting tab or cracking the lens, internal moisture or fogging from a compromised seal, heavy lens yellowing past the point of polishing restoration, broken adjuster screws, DOT inspection failure due to compromised lens or aim, or simply restoring the look of a tired-looking front end on an otherwise good Altima.

Halogen Reflector vs LED Projector

The two types are NOT interchangeable as a pair. Mixing halogen on one side with LED projector on the other produces a visibly mismatched front-end appearance and may fail visual inspection in many states. Always replace in matched pairs when possible.

Things to Confirm Before Ordering

  • Driver side, passenger side, or both
  • Halogen reflector or LED projector type, the two are not visually interchangeable
  • Trim level of your specific 2013 Altima
  • Year (2013, 2014, or 2015 should all match L33 pre-facelift, but call to confirm)

4 reviews for 2013 Nissan Altima Headlights | Driver and Passenger Side Headlight Assembly

  1. Justin M.

    Hit some debris on the highway and cracked the passenger side headlight. Vaz had a clean halogen replacement that matched my SV trim. Lens was clear, all electrical functions tested before shipping. Drop-in install in under 30 minutes. Saved me about $400 over the dealer.

  2. Beth A.

    Needed an LED projector headlight for my SL after the lens cracked from a road debris hit. Vaz confirmed LED type and 2014 cross-compatibility, sent photos before shipping, light scuffing on the housing was disclosed. Looks great, works great, much cheaper than dealer or aftermarket Chinese replacements.

  3. Jenny L., Norfolk VA

    Hit a deer and shattered the driver side headlight. Vaz had a clean halogen replacement that matched my SV trim perfectly. Lens was clear, all electrical functions tested before shipping. Drop-in install in under 30 minutes. Saved me about $400 over the dealer price.

  4. Brian K., Atlanta GA

    Needed an LED projector headlight for my SL after the lens cracked from a road debris hit. Vaz confirmed LED type, sent photos before shipping, light scuffing on the housing was disclosed. Looks great, works great, much cheaper than dealer or aftermarket Chinese replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my 2013 Nissan Altima has halogen or LED headlights?

Look at the front of your Altima with the lights off. If you see a gold-tinted reflector bowl with a bulb visible inside, you have halogen. If you see a small projector lens surrounded by a thin LED ring (the LED daytime running light), you have LED projector. Or tell us your VIN and we look it up.

Will 2014 or 2015 Altima headlights fit my 2013?

Yes. The L33 Altima sedan used the same headlight design from 2013 through 2015. The 2016 refresh brought a redesigned front end and the older units do not fit. The same is true in reverse: 2013 Altima headlights also fit 2014 and 2015 Altima sedans of matching trim.

Where can I find a headlight assembly for my 2013 Nissan Altima?

We carry tested used 2013 Altima headlight assemblies for both halogen reflector (S, SV) and LED projector (SL, SR) trims, in driver and passenger side. Call (240) 301-0095 with your trim and side and we ship the correct headlight assembly with electrical function tested before shipping.

Can I mix a halogen headlight on one side with an LED on the other?

We strongly do not recommend this. The light output and color temperature are visibly different and your car will fail visual inspection in many states. Always replace as a matched pair when possible.

Do these come with bulbs?

When the donor unit ships with bulbs intact, they are included. We do not supply new replacement bulbs. Standard halogen bulbs (H11 low beam, 9005 high beam typical) are inexpensive and easy to source locally.

How do I aim the headlights after install?

Use the adjuster screw on the back of each housing. Park 25 feet from a flat wall, mark the bulb height, then adjust the beam center to fall about 2 inches below that mark. Most local shops can also aim them for under $30.

How does shipping work?

Free shipping to all 50 US states via standard ground freight. Typical transit is 3 to 7 business days. Headlights are well-packed in protective foam.

Is there a core charge?

No. Keep your old headlights, no return required.
