FYI: Something U should check..

after washing my car today I realized that there is water in my left headlight... I was like WTF.. so I pop the hood.. and realized that the rubber strip right on top of the headlight is coming off... it is just hold there by tape... probably cuz the hot weather in CA and the cold azz weather in MI so it's coming off... so go out and check to see if yours is still on.... so you don't get any water in your headlight...

This might happen to you cuz you have the 2000, so its kinda "old" , and nissan is cheap so this **** can happen to you after 2 years

Might wanna check and make sure that the caps to the back of the headlights is there, too. Got mine back from the dealer and a trip the SC in the rain resulted in both low beams blown by FL due to a corrosion/grounding. I can see how they could miss putting them back on.....they can disappear in the engine bay and unless you're lookin for it you'll never notice that they are gone

Mine have been through Crazy Azz downpours and snow storms already. No notice of moisture inside. You got a defective light.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, 2K2 hids dont have that crappy rubber boot anymore. They got a twist lock cap that goes on the back. But you aint never going to open it to change the bulbs anyways.
