Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / August 2007Moisture in headlights
Car is a 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R. Condensation collects in both headlamps. Remove them and dry them out and in three or four days it's back. Any hints on how to stop it? BTW: Replaced both lamps a few years back because of the same problem. Al on 8/4/2007 2:33 PM Big Al said the following: > Car is a 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R.

The moisture is in the plastic headlamp. It seems to have a rubber vent? Al >> on 8/4/2007 2:33 PM Big Al said the following: >>> Car is a 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R.

I have had to do this to my 92 SE-R before and it works great. >>> on 8/4/2007 2:33 PM Big Al said the following: >>>> Car is a 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R.

My van and pickup both had this problem. I just drilled a small vent hole on the lowest part of the lens. 1/8" or a little smaller. Moisture drained out and never had a problem with it again. Chris |
