Replacing my headlight bulbs

Do i just turn the housing counter clockwise to take out the bulb? Is there something I should be looking out for to turn them counter clockwise?

they dont screw in. there is a metal clip that keeps them in place.

It's simple. The wire harness has to be squezzed then pulled straight out. Squezze it at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Then remove the 'rubber donut'. You will then see something that looks like a twisted paper clip. Squezze that and the bulb is now loose and ready to be removed. The owners manual shows all this as well.

You need to squeeze those tabs really hard; especially if they have bunch of crap on them.

i would have read it if my dealer gave me one when I bought my Maxima used. Thats the thing though, if you buy it used they treat you like a piece of !@#*. I should get on that.
