Headlight cap seal / o-rings

[Parky]

My headlights have been letting water / condensation in so I've taken the caps off to get a hair dryer in there and think I found the source of the problem, the large seals are pretty much perished and need replacing, and one of the tabs is missing off a cap so will need a pair of those too. :wack: can anyone advise on where to get a replacement set or have a look at FAST for part numbers? Pic below if it helps. Cheers

Are those ones on eBay a direct fit for s15 lowbeam? If so then Yus I need them

Just been to the local nissan dealer and they have some on order, just used the chassis number. £31 for the pair including vat. The guys there got a bit of a boner over the 15, but half of them didn't even know what it was haha

I need a set, so good to know Nissan can get them in. My local nissan dealers aren't as helpful, so could you let me know the part number when you get them please?

 

[Parky]

Yeah no problem

The new seals / caps did the trick, no more condensation in the lights

Awesome, good to know they are available. . My passenger side has developed a little condensation i have noticed, will check seals.

Yeah they arrived in about a week as well which was handy. Took the old cap and o-ring off, removed both sidelight and main beam bulbs and left a hairdryer on low temp / max speed blowing through the light until all the water had disappeared, let it air out back to ambient temperature then refitted the bulbs and new cap / seal. Job's a good'un.
