I thought that side appeared darker but I don't drive at night often and didn't think of checking. It's an after Zdayz project since there is now silicone I have to remove to even get in there. YAY
I had moisture in my 350z headlight and thought the bulb was out too. Turns out the ballast was fried. I'd try replacing that first.

Adam's Polishes glass cleaner and glass towels for sure. Also, nitrile gloves! I go through 20 pairs or so when I detail my Z.

Racecar is always the answer.

Lol although i am OCD as hell when it comes to windows. Atleast the interior has to be smudge free to make sure that limited viewing is maximized

LOL, that is too much work. I use rag company glass cleaning polishing towels after following the method Jar posted. She looks good but ain't no hard parking show car. Hell, I got to get the sand and dust out of her after doing a little off roading at the track the weekend my motor blew back in November.

Vinegar mixed with water, crumpled up news paper (not the Ads with color ink). Streak free...

Wouldnt recommend on tinted windows though.

I hope its one of the two. I'll buy both for when I do take it apart thanks! I'm hoping the bottom piece that the ballast connects to isn't shot. It has rust on it from where water sat but it appears sealed.

Update: apparently you can buy that piece with it too, it's the igniter

I use gloves when I wipe down by the front windshield - both the window and the dash - to avoid the rubbing the clean surfaces. Don't bother with gloves anywhere else.

You need to get over there when the motor is pulled so you can detail that empty engine bay

Rag Company FTMFW. Adam's towels are way overpriced. I have both. I do use a variety of Adam's cleaners though.

Looks like I've finalized my ZSpeed order with Joe. Just waiting on the Wavetrac differential to arrive.

Agreed! I use Adam's car car products too. Yeah it would be nice to get a fresh coat of paint. Seb does a good job of cleaning things up. My problem is I like to take off road excursions from time to time LOL.
