so i og t anew bumer and started to take the old on off, but i ran into a problem!! how the heck do u get the headlights out to be able to get to those few screws under them?

thanks

ps all links and stuff with pics are very good!!

 

let's pick right hand side for example

it's pretty easy, there are 2 nuts (around 10mm) on the left side and 2 bolts (around 10mm) on the side. To get the 2 bolts out, you need to remove your side headlight out, there is only one screw that is holding it down. Pretty easy once you get the side headlight outta way.

 

also, don't forget you gotta remove the whole headlight housing along with the back mounting bracket... the one that attaching to your grill.

speaking of the grill, it's a pain to take off for me. I took it off by removing both headlight. If any of you guys could figure out a way to get a plier in there and get that plastic thing loose so the grill comes out let me know.

 

There are several different grilles, but the one I had, you could access what looks like a phillips screw. You take a phillips screwdriver and turn the plastic clip sideways and you are able to release the grille at that point. Move to next. I agree, grilles are a pain!

 

mines are held back by push clips. It's really hard for me to get a plier in there to push it out without breaking it. Yes, I already broken one of the 4 corners because Nissan had a 3rd non-removal metal clip that gets in the way. I'll just remove both headlights next time I do it.

 

yeah I need a new grill, I know a lot of you guys had converted to UK so you don't need your old one. If your old one was in decent condition, sell it to me.
