anybody could come in here and get the instruction for headlight removal. doesn't this scare you guys? there are a lot of 6gen HID thieves out there....

 

I doubt thieves would take this process though. it will take them way longer to complete this process.

they would either steal the car or rip them out like they have been doing, then to open the hood, remove the grille, remove the bumper, & etc.

 

i dont wanna steal.. lol.. i already bought the xenon assemblys... just need info on how to remove the non xenon and replace it with the xenon i have

 

what kind of xenon assemblies did you buy?

i've converted from halogen to hid, so i might be able to give you some insight

 

inoder to replace the headlights u must remove gravel shield and front bumper. warranty times pay 1.5 hours which if u ever get urs phuced, its goin to cost u 2.2 hours at dealship.i replace one because the ballst was bad and the headlight cost $900 warranty price.

 

i bought 2 actual xenon hid assemblies from ebay... dont know if they are stolen or not. But they are factory nissan hid..they havent yet made an hid conversion kit for the 6th gen max... 9012 sylvania silver stars dont even exist

 

6th gen uses 9012, which uses the same base as most 9000 series bulbs.

 

i have both left and right side XENON headlight assemblies... i just need to take the halogen assemblies off and just slide the xenon ones in... how do i remove the assemblies?

 

yes, plug and play. to remove the headlights follow this: http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...9&postcount=10

 

I realize this is old but I just bought my HID kit and I'm going to try to do this myself... So I need great instructions, which I am sure you guys can provide. I clicked on the links but they had no such instructions...
I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

 

Seems pretty clear to me, look in the stickies first!!! And welcome aboard!

Bumper removal:
1.) Remove 4 screws (2 each side) on the bottom of the bumper, below where the cornering lights are. These hold the plastic undercarriage pieces to the bumper.
2.) Remove plastic "skid plate" by removing plastic "screw bolts" (like the ones that hold the grill on under the hood). I believe there's like 5 across the bottom.
3) There 2 screws on each side that hold the bumper in place (just below the headlights) Turn your wheel all the way to the left (for passenger side) Pull back the fenderwell to gain access behind the bumper. 1st screw/bolt is right there by the edge and the 2nd is furthur down about 3/4 to the front of the headlamp assembly.
3.) Under the hood, there's the plastic clips/bolts that hold the grill and bumper in place, you don't have to remove the grill from the bumper if you don't need to. Remove the plastic clips farthest to the outside. This should release the bumper from the car completely. (oh and first remove the plastic air duct thing that flows air to the intake)

 

Lol maybe i was doing something wrong...
Nevertheless, thanks very much for the help. So after i remove the bumper the headlight unit just comes out?
