i've only had my car for about 3 months and there's this weird cracking inside the headlight assembly. i brought it by HERB GORDON Nissan, and they're claiming that it's normal... i would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this... here's some pictures...

 

"Normal" my ****! If that was me, I'd get those things replaced under warranty ASAP!

 

+1 try a different dealer if yours is not willing to work with you.

 

i was trying this afternoon to get them to reason that it is a defect. to drive the car off the lot and come back within three months... that looks bad... gotta call them up tomorrow and find out with NISSAN is going to do. so far, the service advisor says that there's a chance they will not replace it... it's not like i drove in to something or something hit the lenses... obviously the cracks are within...

 

they look like major defect to me.

 

They WILL replace it, as it is obviously a manufacturing defect. Go to a different dealer and see what they say. Threaten to approach NNA directly about this if they don't budge.

 

They will dude. They will have to like you said there is no damn way that that should be taking place. My friends G35 headlights would fog up an they fixed it and didn't give him hell.

 

My 06 lights had a problem too, but it looked like there was some sort of film dripping down the inside of the headlight lenses(and there was a hair in one of them). The local dealer called Nissan to approve the warranty work(as headlights are expensive for them to replace, and without authorization Nissan may not cover it...forcing the dealer to pay for them) and they would not cover it. They didn't believe that there was a hair in the light or that there was a film inside.
The way they got Nissan to cover them was to create a new file saying that there was condensation in the lights and put that file through the next day. Apparently Nissan puts this type of problem through right away...

 

got the word from the dealership that Nissan has authorized to warranty my headlights due to the cracks... thanks for the support guys!

 

The Ultra-Violet protection coating on the lenses (to prevent from yellowing) was not performed well.
Common problem on plastic lenses, not only Nissan.

 

Damn the same thing is happening to my headlight people tell me its heat stress. I need to see if the dealer will cover it. I have the extended warrenty (platinum series) so do you guys think they will cover it?

 

don't worry you'll be fine. i also (stupidly) got the extended warranty... bs plus program... nissan has called me today to confirm that i will be bringing in my z for new headlight assemblies. don't be worried.

 

i like the 06' head light so much i wish mine 04' cracks naturally b4 warranty runs out

 

Thanks for the a little sign of relief. Seems like they never want to cover anything.

 

Dealers really pi*s me off. Thats a warranty issue if I have ever seen one pal. How can they say thats normal? Do not accept that it is cause it aint. Tell them to walk you through their showroom and show you how many zeds have this 'normal' problem. If you find one that has it I would be very surprised. Go get em buddy!!
