new headlight question's

ahardb0dy · Nov 20th, 2003, 08:26 PM

Just noticed on my headlights (90 sentra), that one says "nissan" directly in the middle and one says "nissan" on the lower left side. Does this mean that one has been replaced? Do the headlights from any other model/year also fit on a 90? Also, one headlight is crystal clear the other is dirty/foggy, just noticed tonight on the dirty/foggy one, that the glass is only attached on the top and looks like previous owner used clear silicone to attach it. If I remove the glass completely, what do I use to re-attach it??

umm...someone correct me if i'm wrong but didn't 90 still use sealed beam?? if so then it needs replaced. If it does go with Sylvania

Sounds like someone replaced one of the headlights. Probably the clear looking one. I'd go look for a replacement for the crappy looking one out of another B12 (87-90) in a junkyard.

took care of the problem today, tried the oven trick to reheat the glue to reattach the headlight lens but that didn't work, so I scraped all the old glue out ran to the auto parts and picked up a tube of 3m urethane ran a nice size bead in the channel the lens goes in, placed the lens, wrapped string around the whole assembly, waited about an hour and good as new, reinstalled headlight and all is good, now I just have to find a polish or abrasive to use to polish the outside of the glass on the headlight lens
