“Factory headlights have a ballast that controls low beams and day time running lights that is retaining water and causing headlights to either stay on or not work at all. I have had a Nissan dealer look at it and they don't want to do anything about it as we use the truck at night and day and only have high beams. It all started after we bought the truck and washed it the headlights would flicker on and off and the driver side low beam stayed on for 17 hours. …”
