Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)IN JUNE OF 2010 WE STARTED TO NOTICE CONDENSATION BUILDING UP IN THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE BUT THE LEESBURG FL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID TO IGNORE IT SINCE IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE ($1200) TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THEN IN FEB OF 2011 WE NOTICED THAT THE XENON BULB IN THAT FIXTURE HAD BLOWN OUT. WE DON'T DO TOO MUCH NIGHT DRIVING SO WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT BLEW, BUT IT SEEMS THE EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION CONTRIBUTED TO THE BULB'S FAILURE. ASIDE FROM THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE BULB AND FIXTURE, THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY CONDENSATION PROBLEM SEEMS A SAFETY ISSUE (AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT) BECAUSE OF REDUCED VISIBILITY AND THE PROSPECT OF THE XENON BULB FAILING PREMATURELY.
