The Nissan Frontier pioneered the compact truck segment when it launched in the late 90s as a replacement for the Nissan Hardbody truck. It quickly became a popular option among American drivers who wanted the capabilities of a full-size pickup on a smaller truck that drives easily like a sedan.

Unfortunately, Nissan has announced that it will no longer produce the line after the 2020 model’s launch. This means that current truck owners will probably need to rely on aftermarket Nissan Frontier headlights for future repairs.

One headlight won’t illuminate

A burnt-out bulb is the most likely cause of one headlight failing to switch on. Halogen bulbs typically have a shorter life span compared to their LED counterparts. Before deciding to switch out your headlight bulb, check the condition of the connectors to rule out any loose or damaged connections that may keep a perfectly fine bulb from illuminating.

Both headlights are out

Faulty bulbs aren’t usually the culprit when both headlights fail to switch on at the same time. This is often caused by an electrical problem due to a blown fuse, faulty wiring between the fuse block and battery, a defective headlight relay, or a faulty headlight switch.

High or low beams don’t work

Problems operating the high or low beams could either result from an issue with the bulb or a problem with the electrical relay. This could stem from a faulty dimmer switch that may or may not integrate with the main headlight switch. It could also be a sign of a wiring problem.

Dim headlights

Headlight bulbs can lose brightness at the end of their service life. In cases like this, switching out a burnt out bulb may just do the trick. If the bulb is new but still appears dim, the problem could be an oxidized or foggy headlight lens cover.

This is often a result of trapped moisture inside the headlight assembly. You can repair mild cases through reconditioning the lenses while severe cases will require headlight replacement.

Your truck’s headlights are critical to your safety on the road at night and during low light conditions. Dim or malfunctioning headlights can reduce your ability to observe road obstructions, pedestrians, and other vehicles in the dark. These lights can also be used to communicate with other drivers on the road. Lastly, you should note that in most states, it is illegal to drive a vehicle with one or more faulty headlights.

The cost of Nissan Frontier aftermarket headlights will depend on your vehicle’s specific year model. OE replacement headlights will generally cost you in the range of $19 to $331. These sell as individual assemblies, in sets of two, or as part of a kit. Most assemblies come with a halogen bulb included, but there are also options for Nissan Frontier LED headlights.

There have been four generations of the Nissan Frontier, each model year carrying parts that vary in fit and design.
