justment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer

long period of time. Dust, moisture,
smoke, etc. entering the headlight
body may affect bulb performance.
Remove the bulb from the headlight
assembly just before a replacement
bulb is installed.

lope. Touching the glass could signifi-
cantly affect bulb life and/or head-

of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car

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,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for servicing.
