Ok, so I'm not the only one. FYI this IS a manufacturer defect. Nissan of Stockton, CA. has recognized it as a recurring problem and has gotten Nissan corporate involved. As I said before, mine were that way from new. what's funny is, that car sat on the showroom floor for two months, and no one noticed the problem!! I was also able to get the dealer to REPLACE my entire rear axle due to the car pulling to the right. They actually took the time to 4 wheel align it and found it way out of spec. So keep fighting with them 'til you get what you want.

I've had my '08 SPEC-V now for a little over a year, and my local dealer today is ordering my 3rd SET of tail lights. I keep finding after a few months a strange etching/fogging on the inside of the clear outer lens. Nissan doesn't know what to make of it. And since the first set was ordered the day after I puchased the car, they know it's nothing that I'm doing. Anyone else having this problem?

My headlights have this etching on them, but my tail lights are clear.

Try a different dealer. That one's screwing you around.

Yeah, rocks hitting the two lights in the same place seems to be a common problem with these cars - especially when reversing at 90mph on the highway
