- Typically made of a rubber material
- Prevents dust, moisture, and other debris from entering your headlight assembly
- Can ultimately impact driving visibility when damaged
The Headlight Bulb Cap on your Nissan is a round rubber component that can often be found behind the headlight bulb. It helps to prevent moisture, dirt, dust, and other contaminants from entering the assembly, which helps to preserve the integrity of this system.
This car part can malfunction for several reasons, including general wear and tear over time and overexposure to certain elements. Without a working Headlight Bulb Cap, your ability to see when driving through fog, rain, or darkness may become more difficult — if not impossible.
Debris would make your headlights hazy, and moisture could negatively impact your wiring and bulbs. You'll probably also spend a lot more of your hard-earned cash on replacement bulbs since they'd likely blow out at a faster rate when exposed to these conditions. In short, this component works to preserve the integrity of your Nissan's headlights, so it would be wise to have this component replaced immediately if you notice an issue.
If your Headlight Bulb Cap is worn, make certain that you order the correct fit and size for your headlight assembly to make sure it's airtight. When this component is not sealed properly, the components within your headlight may be at risk of potential damage. Make sure you get the right part, fit, and size by purchasing OEM bulb caps.
