Water in tail lights???


Recommended Posts

i posted a similar question ages ago on SDU...here's a copy n paste of one of the answers i got:

--------------------

The factory Nissan adhesive is a rubberized caulking, similar to that used in sealing windshields. one small pinhole and you end up with what we call "fishbowls" half a taillight filled with water. Only way to combat this is to take the taillight ousing back out and remove all the old sealnt, and get a tube of ruberized caulking, Silicone household caulking will not work. Try an auto parts store for windshield grade. And yes it is a pain in the but to remove them that stuff is sticky.

MrGTST,

If the crap is on the outside then just use Brasso on the lens, trust me it works. If it's on the inside then it's best to pay someone to do it properly, I can get you the phone number of some people in Perth who do it.

See'ya:burnout:

just used some old brasso on the outside of my headlights, polished out a few of those foggy patches... looks shit hot now, headlights look like new :)

    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
