HELP!!! Need Replace HeadLight Bulb.

Man I got a darn ticket for having one headlight. I have an '01 Max and I tried to replace the headlight bulb, but I couldn't pull it out. I saw a nissan site that had the manual that I could download, but I couldn't find it again. Can someone point me in the right direction. Can't afford anymore of those tickets!

And I found out that my brake light is out. So I replaced the bulb and now when I hit on my brakes the bulb won't brighten. When I turn my lights on it will come on, but when I hit the brakes one of the bulbs won't brighten up. Anybody know how to fix that problem?

the headlight.... you don't need to remove the housing... just looking at the front to of the headlight.. on the back you are going to see the wiring that attach to the bulb remove them remove the black rubber "seal".. pull the seal off.... there is a piece of wire holding the bulb in place.... look at it in the positio it is so you can put it back the same way. remove the bulb, reinsert the new bulb, DO NOT touch the bulb itself only the metal and reinstall everything back.... it should take you 10 minutes tops...

I know, but the problem is removing the wiring in the back...
