2009 Pathfinder- water vapor in the headlight??

Postby sidecar » Sat Aug 01, 2015 2:11 pm

Just picked up my new-to-me '09 pathfinder and it has water vapor in the headlight shell. Is this common?? Any ideas what would cause it? I haven't really looked yet as I just got it yesterday, but it's on the agenda for next week to try and fix it. Just trying to get a head start as I'm coming off a 5 year run in a 2004 GMC Safari. Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

I noticed a bit of vapor in the headlights of my '07 as well on cold, damp mornings.

You can take the rubber boot off in the back off temporarily for a bit of extra ventilation. The headlights should be vented in the back, as is. Headlights aren't sealed.

Thanks, SETI20. By the way, I'm in Windsor- where are you located?
