HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of
the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
Xenon headlight bulb (if so equipped):
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI
retailer.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon headlights
replaced at an INFINITI retailer. For addi-
tional information, see “Headlight and turn
signal switch” in the“2. Instruments and
controls” section.

The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
which uses a replaceable headlight (halo-
gen) bulb. If replacement is required, see
an INFINITI retailer for servicing.

inside the bulb. The bulb may break if
the glass envelope is scratched or the
bulb is dropped.
. Only touch the plastic base when hand-
ling the bulb. Never touch the glass
envelope. Touching the glass could sig-
nificantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.

light reflector for a long period of time
as dust, moisture, and smoke may enter
the headlight body and affect the
performance of the headlight.
