I need to know how to remove the corner lense next to the headlight. I tried last night, but for the life of me, I could not get it to pop out.

Is there a how to on this? I am going to replace the bulbs with some HyperWhite ones, since the stock ones don't match. Where can I find info on this?

It is hard to do!
Openur hood. Take apilips screw driver and unscrew the screw on top of the lens. Be very gental and try to make the opening on top a little more by woblning it and moving from side to side. look from the top inside the o[pening and try to locate a silver or black **** at the botton of the light. ounce you see it take a flat screw driver and try to pop it out. make sure you are extremly careful. goodluck.

I don't know, I pushed so hard that my scewdriver got bent. Then I got a stronger one and a small piece of the lense broke off... I was really ****ed, because I did it all by instructions. I finally just reached in and replaced the damn lights without taking out the whole thing, but scratching my arms.

The How TO is very EASY. I just did it in less than 10 mins for one side, the other will be easy. I just switched bulbs.

Hey vic...
Where did you get your hyperwhite bulbs from? I am in houston right now, and bored off my a**! I wanna replace mine too, and that would give me something to do. Besides mine have that stock "dirty" look. Did you order them online or did you buy them somewhere like Autozone or O'rielly's?

One-piece headlamps.

I got one-piece headlamps it looks really better than
the old stock headlamps (2 piece=headlamps+corner lense)
these new headlamps look really nice with euro front
grill.

Re: One-piece headlamps.

That looks good!

Is your car a 99 Maxima? I thought the one piece headlights didn't fit. What car are those headlights from? That looks way better. Is anything else modified on your front (grill, bumper, hood)?

It doesn't look like a maxima frontend. The one piece headlights won't fit in a max without doing a I30/Cefiro frontend conversion. Sy can give you the full rundown of what it entails. It looks like an I30/Cefiro.

That's a Maxima QX. It's sort of a mix between our Max & I30. We dont get it here.
