produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify

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 does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. If large
drops of water collect inside the lens, contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
