Hey I just got my cefiro's and I love the to death. (sorry don't have pics yet) But it rained today...and when I came outside my driver side was all fogged up. Of course I was kinda upset. Do anyone have any ideas of how I can fix it???

 

did u weatherstrip it good?

 

I thought I did, but isn't the weatherstripping just to close up the gaps on the side of the lights??? I didn't think the weatherstriping was for that....and it's just oneside...

 

well yes it is used to close up the gap but its mainly for preventing water from getting inside, and u certainly don't want that.

 

make sure that there is no crack in your headlight. make sure that the light bulb fits perfectly and that there is no huge gap where the light bulb sits. you're gonna have to get rid of the condensation that is in your headlight right now, you can try to blow dry it out. or put sealant around the headlight housing

 

last resort, just open up the whole housing and dry it well. when youre done, seal the edges with silicone.

 

The weatherstripping for the "gap" issue should have nothing to do with the fogging up of the lenses inside. You probably have a "leak" in the Headlight assembly itself.

BTW are these the OE "Nissan" Cefiros or the cheap aftermarket ones?

 

I just replaced an A33 Cefiro headlights and my customer had the same problem as what you described. After I replaced it and I finally figure out something that you may want to look into.

1st of all:
If you got Aftermarket Cefiro Headlights (i.e Smoke one piece, or Chrome One piece without Nissan Daioku imprinted on the lense). Then you should 1st silicon all around the headlights.

*Don't believe what the seller tell you that it's an OEM headlights. Look at it by yourself. There are lots of people selling on this forums and on Ebay or their own website claiming their One Piece Cefiro Headlights are OEM Nissan products.. but they are NOT.. IT's OKAY~! Don't panic. Nothing wrong with that.. ... You've SAVED some $$$ getting a cheaper/ less quality product but still can look good (though the reflector housing and the seal isn't top notch).
If you tell me who you bought the Cefiro One piece Headlights from.. I can tell you right away 90% if it's OEM or aftermarket. Or, you can just look at the headlight lense itself to look for "NISSAN DAIOKU" letters imprinted.

Secondly:
*This is what my customer had experienced!!!
The plug for the signal from Stock USDM I30/Maxima is NOT a perfect fit onto the Cefiro Headlights. Therefore, to make the plugs fit, you either have to enlarge the socket hole or cut the sockets. Make sure that the socket and plug are fitted in without any gap or space. That's where my customer's car was leaking water into the headlight, thus it would fog up.

Email me if you have any questions.

Thank you

Also apply a very very thin layer of sealant around the bulb socket, the side that is seated on the housing.

 

sycefiro....I got the headlights from maxmojo. And it's only one side. All the sockets are sealed...they corner/clearance light I left the one that came with the headlight in..and just wired the factor socket to it. And I can't get to it right now b/c it's been raining the last couple days. So once it stops raining...can I just let all the condisation out...or what ever then silicone around the whole headlight...would that be fine???

 

Hey I just bought an Infiniti I30 that look just like the maxima....the problem is it came with an all in one headlight and the name on it said NISSAN DAIOKU. Now one of my headlight is busted but i don't know where to get the all in one 1997 nissan daioku headlight that came with my car...can u please help? Olumpkin35@yahoo.com

 

Silicon seal all the seams/cracks. I've always had to do this with aftermarket lighting products, even in my previous car.

 

jsut use soem clear silicone around where the plastic an dthe plastic"glass" come together.. all around.. make shure u use this crystal clear silicone i bought form homedepot meant for all enviroment use... i had this prob on my passenger side.. dont let the problem remian un solved for too long as the chrome inside will ebgin to fade.. trust me..
