Headlight swap and tune up question

I need How-to instructions on installing the A/E headlight. The ones on the How-To section was removed due to HID theft on 2K2s. Anyone have a link?
Also, what is done in a 60K tune up? My dealer wants to charge me over $500 for it. Anything I can do myself to minimize the amount of things they have to do and can therefore charge me for?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have a link... but it's easy enough, there are two screws on the top of the headlight which you unscrew... and then there is a small metal piece which remains "wedged" into a clip on the outside of the light. After you unscrew the top two screws, pull the light streight out with a little force. Un plug the stock wiring harness, and plug it into the new lights. Easy enough to do.

Thanks. I unscrewed the 2 screws but I knew there was still something holding it in place. I couldn't see what it was, and I wasn't sure if I had to remove the bumper. Glad to find out I don't. Thanks. Anyone on the tune-up question?

60k service

[The 60k service is easy enough to do yourself with and can be done in one afternoon by even a novice wrench. The 3 main things that you have to do are 1) engine coolant replacement, 2) spark plug replacement 3) air filter replacement and of course your regular oil change. I'm pretty sure that coolant replacement and air filter replacement are covered under your service manual. Oil change as well. The spark plugs are pretty easy too but you'll need to unscrew the 6 coils that attach to the plug. Be carefull not to loose the rear set of mounting bolt. Don't ask how I know. Then replace the set of 6 with GENUINE NISSAN PLATINUM TIPPED PLUGS. You can get a set cheap from Coutesy Nissan. Tell them you're a forum member and you get the discount. Good luck. Feel free to email me if you run into a snag. Total cost of do it yourself = < $100. Dealer service = $500. It pays to do it yourself. Good luck!!
