Access Maxima 2008 Headlights?
Access Maxima 2008 Headlights?
Does anyone have instructions on accessing the headlights in a 2008 Maxima?
I bought an HID conversion kit and am trying to upgrade.
I searched and found instructions for an 06 Maxima, but I read that there may be alternatives, so if someone could post some different ways, and maybe what's best, that would be helpful. Thanks

If they say drop the bumper thats it.
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)

I tried to but it doesn't move, and I see some of those pull-tabs (or whatever they're called), but I don't really know what I'm doing and would like to know first? Thanks
EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it, I need to actually do steps 1 and 2 for step 3 to work...
