My s13 left headlight ( chuki just the light not the pop up h/L) is turning on by itself when i leave it overnight, And its causing the battery to drain overnight. I already changed the fuse,relay and headlight.( I used to have hid and took it out because of the grounded hid wires). the problem is still not fixed,could it be the headlight wirings,if so which one do i have to fix and how. Or is there more other stuff that i could check. I already tried the volt meter.im not sure if i done it right,but i did exactly what it says on write ups and videos. I still couldnt find out the culprit. any help is appreciated thanks

Follow the wires and see if there is a short anywhere.

Had the same problem. It was I believe in the steering column that the dealer charged me $160. installed that controls the lights, probably the switch. A knowledgeable Nissan parts or serviceman can tell you what you need for this.
