Replacing Fog's/Signals/Turns
 
Is this the most impossible car ever created to replace bulbs or what? My old taurus, and my dad's lexus can have any bulb replaced in minutes. I thought since getting at the fogs was impossible (breaking a weathertight seal?!) I'd just make the turns silverstars, or blue, something better than dingy yellow..But after jsut removing the screws under the car and getting a hold on the harness I could not figure out how to get it out..turn it? pull it? Im trying to do it without taking the whole bumper off, anyone have any insight? BTW, if taking off the bumper is my only option, how difficult of a task is it? I would love to have blue signals too but I need to know more about what I'd need to get into. The grille is already off cuz im waiting for a trenz grille after ruining the stock one. The stock smoke finish is horrible and dosent last! :attention

you can access every bulb in the assembly through the engine bay. instuctions have been posted in earlier threads.

would you rather the bulbs be easier to remove so you can have your HIDs stolen in seconds?

i've replaced every exterior bulb but my HIDs. they are all easy if you know how. fogs are a pain, but do-able. you just remove a few pieces.

i just replaced my fog lights this weekend, and i would like to fight whoever designed the max. in order to get the head light assembly out to replace the bulb i had to remove ....the grill, both tires, the wheel wells, and the entire front facia JUST to get to the screws to take out the headlight assembly. 2 hours to take it apart 5 mins to change the bulbs, and hour and a half get it back together. thank nissan.

I hear you. although it has its advantages:
- no one will be able to just pop the hood and remove the bulbs, ballsats (if you have HID) or anything else they want.

- but now you will be able to remove all that stuff quicker than 2 hours. :doublethu

same procedure for both. might as well do them at the same time. pass. side fog takes the longest b/c of angle and limited vision. helps to have a helping hand.

The dingy yellow won't get you a ticket however. :)

A ticket for blue foglights? They do that where you are from? I never tinted the maxima because of the crap i went through with my last car having 20% tint.
