HEADLIGHTS
If replacement is required, it is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of
the exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash.
A temperature difference between the inside
and the outside of the lens causes the fog.
This is not a malfunction. If large drops of
water collect inside the lens, it is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
