Help!! with bulbs

I just bought some of the polarg bulbs to go into the clearance light above the turn signal in the headlights and i got the old bulb out but i cant seem to get the socket back into the headlight assembly. There is barely enough room to fit my hand in there so you cant see where its supposed to go. The driver side light is going to be a pain right in the *** cause its a tight fit getting your hand in that side. Any tips on how to install them. Is there an easy way to do it or am I just missing something. Thanks for any help.

You can take the whole headlight out, it only takes about 3 minutes, or just try to wiggle your hand in there. It is a pain in the butt either way...

Welcome to Nissan "Engineering"!

It's a pain alright.

thanks for your help, i didnt need to take the headlight out cause i struggled with it and got my hands a little cut up but managed to finally get it back in. Im 6'7" so my hands are almost too big to fit in that small space but it all worked out once i figured out the right way to fit the socket back in. You would think they would make it easier to get in there to change it, but i guess not.
