The 2007 Irasca Horizon has headlight assemblies supplied by Depo an after-market supplier. Doing cross reference they are the same as some trim lines of a 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier pickup. The lights have the integral turn/side marker assembly instead of a separate smaller side light. I researched the Depo part number and of course the search engines bring up other brands, and models depending on who paid google the most in advertising.

At any rate it looks like I can get a pair of new light assemblies for $60-80 from a variety of sources with a variety of manufacturers. The lights on the 07 Itasca are getting somewhat yellowed and crazed but light still gets through. I thought about polishing them but that would involve multiple grades of polish and then clear coating with likely dubious results, The "instant restoration" products fall into the automotive snake oil category.

Anyone have any experience with any of the specific aftermarket brands, good or bad. I haven't tried searching genuine OEM Nissan since they likely fall into the gold plated price range and since it's well beyond 10 years Nissan may not support them anyway. Besides I've seen OEM on cars much newer than my 2007 Itasca with much worse lights.

I googled the Winnebago part # for my 2010 adv. headlight assy. Cant remember who I got it from but it fit perfect and was about $ 150.00 less then any dealer or factory price. I will try to fin the paperwork and post it.

I purchased and installed new headlights for my coach from VIPMOTOZ with excellent results.

While I cant speak to the motorhome lights I have used Depot lights on a previous truck. OEM was $300 per light. The Depot lights were $150 for the pair. Were they as nice as the oem, no but they worked fine and I had no complaints about them (the light output was fine, it just seemed overall build quality was less). They were still working fine when I sold the truck 5 years later to my BIL and they are still working without issue. I had been prepared to go through a set every few years but due to the price was willing to see how it went and was/am pleasantly surprised at how well they have held up to the test of time.

On a side note I hit a deer last year in my truck. Insurance requested that they use rebuilt/refurbished headlights if available. While I was unhappy I have to say I did receive an oem headlight assembly that had been rebuilt/refurbished and has worked fine at least so far. The cost was about half of the OEM and yet it was OEM though rebuilt (whatever that really means). For the life of me I dont remember the name of the company it was on the body shops quote. I looked them up on the web and they certainly had a lot of different types and pricing seemed good. Might be worth a call to a local body shop that does insurance work and ask them about it.

I bought a set for our '06 Itasca for around $60 and they came with new bulbs. There wasn't a brand name as far as I can remember but they were good quality and fit perfectly. I think they were from a '97 Ford Windstar van.

Had a minor accident with our Honda Civic. Needed a new headlight and the body shop used an aftermarket headlight unit. After three trips back to reaim they finally agreed it couldn't be aimed correctly and put an OEM part in.
