Ok Have you all ever looked inside your headlight housing? I looked in mine and the chrome looking stuff that reflex the light is all blck now and half way faded. Idont even get a true beam of light to se at night. So I had to install some Hid fogs just to see at night real good. But Iwould liek my housing to look liketh enew cars housings look all chromed out for a brighter beam pattern or atleast what ours looked like when it was brand new so I can get brighter light. Do you all know of any place that sells brand new housings for our cars? Or do you know of any headlight mods, like on the 3rd gens you can install the BMW 3series headlight units. Are there any type of mods for ours? Also this maybe weird but do you know our parking lights in the front, well I was thinking is there any possibility to fit H3 fog light bulbs in there? It would take some home made customizing, but it was just a thought.

You can get new headlight assemblys from courtesy nissan pretty cheap. Other than that all you can do is remove yoru headlight and take it apart. Then attempt to clean it, don't buy used headlights they will only get bad just like yours are now. Our headlights get like this because the seal around the housing deteriorates.
