See title.....I have major build up in my passenger side head light and it caused my xenon bulb to go out!!!! Dealer wants $180+taxes for it, I checked everythingnissan and they want $134 i'm still looking around to see what I can find any suggestions would be helpful. Oh and I do not think dealer will warrenty it since its been baked open and painted black.

well i was gonna say it should be under warranty but since you baked it then no. you have condensation cause it is not completely sealed. i would say bake it and and try to reseal it.

Lightwurks charges way to much $$

Oh see I didn't know that.. I thought you baked em yourself.. Def call lightwerks and make em fix it and replace the bulb. They should warranty their stuff too so don't take no for an answer

i've actually had quite a number of issues with the car and it actually does not have all of it's parts. I'm quite annoyed so may only have the car for a bit longer, the past couple of weeks i had battery issues because of the mini battery(went thru hell to get it replaced). the car does not have a horn right now so i need to buy a new one, and now with this headlight issues thank god i found someone who will do a replacement set of bulbs for $50 for the d2r bulbs. i've had a few people tell me to try a hair dryer or heat gun on low setting to avoid baking it. So i may do that but honestly I may have the car for a year and then sell it just too much of a hassle that I DO NOT want to be dealing with(nor really have the funds for). but thanks for the suggestions and i'll keep you guys posted.
