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” (P.2-33).
Halogen headlight bulb (if so equipped):
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.
CAUTION
.High pressure halogen gas is sealed
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.
. Do not leave the bulb out of the head-
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.
