Good Place to get replacement lights

My front headlights are dingy and a little yellow tinted I guess from moisture, Is there a good place to get replacements for a good price, cause they just dont look right all dingy. Also my back drivers tail light is fogged over and gets alot of moisture in it especially on rainy days, is it better to replace, or is it easy to fix. I have never taken a light out before and dont know how to seal the gasket. What are my options?

Look around on ebay for some head lights. If you just want to up grade your bulb search "bulb codes" and look for the sticky in red about lights and bulbs.

As for your tail light. If your under warrenty take it in and have the dealer replace it. If not take it off drain it (move it around till all the water come out) and seal it. Put it back on and your good.

not under warranty anymore. Only throw the extended one I bought from the nissan dealer when I bought it used. How hard is it to remove the tail light? And how do I reseal it? Also I don't want new headlight bulbs just new plastic cover if possible, it is just dingy looking on the inside and I want to make it look brand new again
