i took my 240 into the nissan dealership today because the passanger side headlight is alot dimmer than the driver's side. They said that its a problem with the computer that controls the lighting and it would be 150 bucks to fix. This only happens on my daytime running lights. Has anyone else had this problem and/or found any cheaper solutions ?

sounds like it is in the computer because it only happens with day running headlights. if it was a ground or something it would happen all the time, day or night. i personally wouldn't worry about it because $150 is a lot of money for something that is not necessary nor do day running headlights really provide any advantage at all. if someone doesn't see your car without the lights, they won't see it with them either because they are probobly not looking at all.
