With less than 500 miles on new vehicle, noticed not only headlights were very dim, but extremely weak on driver side. When safely at home, open hood to see if there was a problem. The white plastic retaining ring that holds the headlight bulb (9007) in the headlight housing was off and hanging on the wires, and the headlight bulb was starting the come out of the headlight housing. After talking to the dealership, they compared the retaining ring to three other new, never sold before Frontiers and found this was a standard part. The ring does not make a full 1/4 turn to tighten and the amount of pressure / force to tighten retaining ring equaled to almost nothing. Unknown if this will be a constant issue in my future ownership of this vehicle, but since this was an issue on every Frontier on this lot, even though they offered to replace the ring, nothing would be resolved, it's an identical ring. A) unknown if this will constantly come undone allowing the bulb to loosen and fall out. B) if this continues to come undone, water / moisture ? dirt can constantly enter the headlight housing. C) if bulb falls out and in use the hot bulb can / could melt the headlight unit, or fall on wires melting the material causing electrical issue. D) contacted Nissan corporate with another issue and the response was they prefer to have the dealership handle vehicle concerns. So don't know how to communicate with Nissan they have a poor product design / possible safety issue and should consider redesign of nothing else, the white retaining ring. I did suggest the service department should contact corporate of this, but unknown if this was turned in to Nissan corporate.

The passenger side headlamp assembly is warped where the silver divider is between the top and bottom also the side amber deflector inside the assembly is broken. The driver side headlamp both the reflectors inside are out of place, the larger one has slid down where the main headlight is. You cannot get inside the headlamp assembly to repair these. The only option is to replace them. Nissan refuses to replace them because my warranty is no longer valid since I have over 36,000 miles. The vehicle is a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I have never been involved in any accident. I have never replaced the bulbs.

I find it hard to believe that the dot allows headlights to be produced that become cloudy, yellow, and hazed after a couple of years. When the headlights are like this it makes it very difficult to see at night.
