You're going to have to open them up and reseal them

Available from Nissan: Part# B6553-89915 "sealer.

Excellent sealant. Remains flexible so it doesn't get hard and lose its seal. I suggest using this when you reseal the headlights, much better than typical silicone or RTV silicone.

In order to take the lights apart, you need to remove them from the vehicle. Remove all of the bulbs and loose pieces, and drain as much water as you can out of the light.

Next, you can either use your oven (Google "baking your headlights"), or a heatgun to heat up the seal around the edge of the light, and pull the plastic lense off. Remove the sealant in the groove and on the lense, apply new sealant and put it back together.

i have this same problem with my left set of headlights.
i havn't bothered to put the time into it yet though, because it's not dimming them at all, and i'm buying the halo projectors soon.

i fixed it now... i did the baking technique
take your bumper off
take out the headlight
preheat oven to about 350
stick it in for 3min and pry off with butter knife
and then re seal it with cylycone

Does this really work? I have like some clayish and moisture inside my headlights too. I tried cleaning plennty of times with kit but it still looks pretty bad.
