I can't figure out how to replace my fog lights.
The manual says to go to your authorized Nissan dealer.

I've seen the instructions on how to remove the fendor protector, but I don't know how to get to the bulb.

Once you remove the fender protector, take off the bolt on the bottom of the fog assembly. Once you've done that, push the lamp outwards (be sure to catch it). If it feels stuck, tap it from behind <b>lightly</b> with a hammer to loosen it.

Once the lamp falls out, you can change the bulb.

I didn't use a hammer. I used a screwdriver and pushed on the pawls, those pointy things which keep the assembly secure. It will fly out of there, so, be ready.
