Thanks are you 100% sure it's condensation? It might be that your light just need a good clean!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 A shame, it`s a facelift light he has. Have a look on ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-Fairlady-headlight-n-s-passengers-side-/181240222991?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a32c2550f Would be worth a go splitting it yourself, but before doing that, I would remove the light from the car, (wheel arch liners off, bumper off, & 4no. 10/12mm bolts) take the bulbs out & put it in a warm dry place lens down for a day or so & see how it looks once dried out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The link I sent you is for a preface lift, Facelift looks like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raheemk9 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Mine is the pre-facelift then,so same as the one on eBay,I read the description for the link you sent me and it says the it has small cracks,won't this cause condensation inside'and got quite few scratches on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sorry I didn't read the description just posted the link as a reference. If I were you I'd remove the headlight & dry it out as I suggested earlier, worth a shot & may save you £150-£200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gort Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I got told, if you drill a small hole in the back reflector, the condensation will dry up, don't know if there's any truth in that? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyjoe Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ive got this on mine. I took the headlight out (no more than half an hour)...then stuck a vacuum cleaner over the hole where the full beam bulb sits (took it out first) and a hair dryer towards the indicator hole so it cycled the air through. Then left it on the window sill with the bulbs out for about an hour. Its probably reduced it by 80% but Im about to do it again so its all clear. This isnt an official guide..just what I found around the house. Plus new light units are f-ing expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyjoe Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sorry correction..indicator and side light. Cant get to the main beam one as easiliy. I think the source of my problem is that the grey cover that covers the xenon bit is half broken so the seal isnt great. Perhaps it could be the same for yours?
