Hi all,
Need help DESPERATELY for foglight bulb removal (last step). I searched the forum already, and got the instruction from courtesy nissan website, and from one of the maxorg members:

1. Remove the one clip directly under the foglamp on the black plastic paneling underneath car. Then remove one screw to side directly between clip and tire. This same panel has 2 10mm bolts towards the center of the car. One has a screw design but comes off quicker with 10mm . Once all four are removed bend paneling back towards tire. It will slide out of the ground effects lip naturally.

2. Take the one 10mm screw/bolt out from bottom of foglight assembly. Disconnect the electrical boot at back of lamp assembly.

3. (This is the hardest part) Take a rubber mallet and pop the back of the foglight assembly once and it will pop out towards front of the car. Keep your hand on foglight itself to avoid it flying .

4. Take foglamp off car and twist rear cap to open bulb assembly. (Waterproof and tight) Small metal clip moves backwards to release bulb and you simply disconnect electrical wire to cap. Put new bulb (H3) back in and install wire to cap assembly.

Put the car back together the opposite way, only no more mallet is necessary. You will feel foglamp pop back in and then just reinstall 10mm and electrical connection. Reinstall panel under ground effects lip and put all screws/bolts back in.

My question: how do you remove the electrical wire metal plug (at the other end of the bulb assembly) from the black casing (with 1 red wire coming out of it)? Please reply b/c I need to put the assembly back b/c working tomorrow. To sum up, I need to unplug the other end of the bulb assembly and finding a hard time prying it apart.

 

i'm not sure which plug you're talking about, but one wire remains connected during the swap.
you shouldn't have to disconnect it, just remove the one wire coming from the bulb directly and unscrew the black backing. once the casing is screwed off, you can swing it out of the way without removing the last wire.

 

I got it to work!!
I didn't pull the metal plug, connected to the end of the bulb wire, hard enough. Thanx for the reply! Feel like a dumb xxx now.
