Ok update, I used a hairdryer to gently remove the condensation in the unit.

Now I don’t have any light from the low beam headlight??!

Just tried again, no passenger headlight, flicked stalk to auto and bang it comes on. Then shift up to headlights and they have stayed on. Can’t be the bulb then can it??

I did notice the main fog beam on passenger side came on but did by flickering to begin with

I think you need to return this car to the seller...is it Nissan? The condensation is not good and you may have wiring (harness) and/or power distribution problems. Your lights are very important and as such are unreliable and pretty much an MOT failure.

Part of the Nissan LED lamp testing is to check for flickering/dimming.

Think I have read on this forum that Nissan have stated that condensation in both front and rear lights is normal but, as we know it clearly shouldn't be the case, just another BS get out clause that Nissan use.
