Dear Robert,

Iâ€™ve noticed the headlights on my 2018 Nissan Titan XD look somewhat foggy. Do you have any idea what causes this?

Thanks,
Jimmy,

Hi, Jimmy!

There are a number of things which could cause the headlights on your 2018 Nissan Titan XD to become foggy. But donâ€™t worry, itâ€™s something that's easily fixed.

Headlights used to be made out of glass but are now composed of hard plastic which is covered with a clear coat to protect them.

Sooner or later this clear coat will start to fade away, resulting in a foggy headlight. Road salt and pollution will speed up this process.

Even though the clear coat has UV protection, it will still fade at a faster rate if itâ€™s exposed to intense direct sunlight.

If you donâ€™t spend a lot of time in environments which would cause your headlights to fade, the cleaning agent you're using is probably causing the problem: this is something for you to look in to.

If you have some mechanical ability, you can remove the headlights and use sandpaper to strip the foggy layer off. Otherwise, call down to our Service Department and the TechniciansÂ will do it for you.

Thanks for your question, Jimmy! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
