You'll have to replace the entire light. I've seen them on ebay for around $200-250ish.

If thats the only thing that's broken, you can open the headlight up and just glue it in place (a two part epoxy would work best). It's a bit of a p.i.t.a baking the headlight but very doable, I learned on my own lights and now can take them apart without any problems

Ok I'll check out eBay. The headlight doesn't output the same light and the orange directional light up front is broken. Thanks for the help

does this look legit to buy for this price? They are around 1400 dollars stock.

I bought mine in June from CARiD. I paid $650, plus another $100~ to the dealer to install it. The light is performing perfectly.

Dealer prices are always going to be astronomically higher than anything in the aftermarket. These are technically aftermarket replacements, not made by Nissan, but should still look and perform the same as OEM.
