DC bumper light install? Links in how-to are down
DC bumper light install? Links in how-to are down
I just got my DC lights and I'd like a link to a how-to, or a quick post saying how to. I've looked around here for a little while, in addition to a couple of Maxima sites.
all you need to do is pry the side piece (the smaller one) out with a flathead screwdriver.
stick a screwdriver where the 2 pieces meet... the front light.. (the longer one) and the side light(the smaller one) and pry the smaller piece out. it should just pop out. once that is done.. there is a screw holding in the front (longer) piece. unscrew it with a philips and the rest should be really easy.

I think you are talking about the orange bumper lights, yes? If so it is easy. I just did mine yesterday. You will need to get under your car, and remove 2 10mm bolts holding on a splash guard that covers from the front of the wheel well to the front bumper. Then you can access the back of the lights. You will see what looks like a pin pushed throught a plastic washer of sorts. Use something to push that out towards the lights. This will free the side light and give you access to the front light screw. Remove screw and front light. Repeat in reverse to reinstall. Now I suppose you could skip removing the splash guard and use a screw driver or something flat to pry out the 1st light. I however do not relish the fact of prying with a screw driver next to painted areas, nor on plastic pieces. Either way will work for those lights, Im just not to fond of prying.
