Is this normal?

So I noticed something very unusal. Or it maybe but I have never had this happened to me before. Did a car wash and inside the headlight was bit foggy.

Please let me know if this has happened to you before.

Best Regards

I dont think so. Its supposed to be a sealed assembly. I know this does not happen to my car. It will just get worst over time if you ride it out.

Haven't had that happen in my years owning the car.

Small amount is fine...but if you see large droplets, it's an air leak somewhere. If you had it repaired outside of Nissan , your warranty is void. They might just replace it though as long as they don't notice any tampering.

Yes, it does. Whoever repaired your headlight did not properly seal it when they put it back together.

If your shop warrants their work for life (and they should) I would march back there, make them take the light apart, dry it and reseal it.

If not you can do it yourself but it's a royal pain in the ***.

If you want to try to do it yourself and have no other options, PM me and I can walk you through it but you're probably going to hate life.
