9. Fog light (if so equipped)
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,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
HEADLIGHTS

is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.

inside the halogen bulb. The bulb
may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling
the bulb. Never touch the glass enve-
lope. Touching the glass envelope
could significantly affect bulb life
and/or headlight performance.

ing the bulb. When aiming adjust-
ment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service. •
Fog may temporarily form inside the
lens of the exterior lights in the rain
or in a car wash. A temperature dif-
ference between the inside and the
outside of the lens causes the fog. If
large drops of water collect inside
the lens, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed as shown in the chart.
